My name is Tifenn and I’ll be the Language Associate (LA) for French for the coming academic year. A few words about myself: I was born in Paris, France, where I’m currently completing a master’s degree in English at Sorbonne University. I also studied international relations at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne University and, most recently, Latin at Paris Nanterre University.
My favorite pastime is reading, as I’ve always loved the way literature allows us to experience other aspects of life, revealing how complex some seemingly simple element can be or drawing beauty out of ordinary objects. I also enjoy hiking, cats, good food, cultural outings, video games, or hanging out with friends. I’m currently trying to learn how to draw (it’s a work in progress!) and I’d love to get good enough to draw parts of Carleton’s Arboretum.
