I was a French major at Skidmore, class of 1993 and recently moved back to California
after having lived in Washington, DC for a few years. My husband and I were
married last year in France and my foreign languages experience at Skidmore greatly
contributed to my interest and love of France and other cultures.
I'm currently not working, but I use my French regularly keeping in touch with
friends in France and participating in French events wherever I am living.
After finishing my BA in French from Skidmore, I did use my French degree by moving
to France where I worked in a 12th century chateau as a tour guide giving tours
in French and English and managing the chateau's bookstore. It was a great
experience and learned a lot from living abroad.
