Profile
Education / I am an enthusiastic and energetic twenty-three year old graduate of the University of Kent.
I have a very international background, having grown up in Australia, Italy and Switzerland, following the French school system. As a result I have an ease with languages, having spoken English, French and Italian fluently from early childhood (then studying each one of them in school until the age of eighteen).
I love working with young people as well as using my languages to teach and to translate.
My interests include reading, creative writing, playing guitar, cooking, cycling, skiing, karate and camping.
