I live in Washington, DC and I work at a private, nonprofit organization called
Meridian International Center. I work in the Programming Division of Meridian
and we operate under a grant from the State Department to arrange professional
programs for international visitors who participate in the International Visition
Program sponsored by the State Department. We arrange programs for visitors from
all over the world and oftentimes, I work on projects that include visitors from
French-speaking countries. I have had the opportunity to use my French skills
not only at work, but when I have traveled abroad. In fact, immediately after
I graduated from Skidmore, I moved to Paris for a year to teach English at a public
high school.
