Advising

Where were you born, and where did you grow up?
I was born in Paris and moved to Montreal at the age of six. Growing up there was perfect, but I decided to leave home at 19 to study abroad in Israel for three years. I then continued my studies in New York City, and now I am back in Paris. I feel like I grew up in those four places, and it is surreal that I am back in the city I was born!

What languages do you speak?
I speak French, English, and Hebrew

What does your typical weekend look like?
There is so much to do in Paris that my weekends are never the same! Aside from homework, readings, and working on my projects, I love strolling around the streets of Paris. I look around, I talk to people, I snap pictures that I then print. I do collage work, draw, paint, style, and work on my Instagram account. I write, read, listen to music, and attend spinning classes. I am lucky to have family here, so I usually get lunch or dinner with them. Saturday nights are my wild nights, and Sunday is a me day. To be honest, every day in Paris has been the most amazing, and I look forward to the next one every single day.
