Administrative Assistant
Growing up learning French, I've developed a passion for language learning and cultural exchange. To me, speaking another language is more than mastering words; it's a gateway to deeper understanding and connection with people around the world.
Bio
Caitlin, originally from Milton, began her language journey in her town’s French Immersion program. At American University, she earned a minor in French, studied abroad in Paris, and interned at the Embassy of France. After graduating, Caitlin stepped in as a substitute teacher at Milton's elementary schools, teaching both French and English. Excited to meet fellow Francophiles, she looks forward to connecting at Alors Conversation Club, Apéros, cooking classes, and more. In the future, Caitlin hopes to live in France and continue exploring the country she fell in love with.
