Alexandra Hodge

Class: 2009

Graduated with a French major in 2009
Alexandra says "I recently returned from working abroad in France as an Outdoor Trip Leader with an international adventure travel company. Both my French language skills and study abroad experience were fundamental in obtaining this position overseas. The ability to communicate in French allowed me to successfully interact and establish a rapport with local vendors, handle trip logistics, and work through any unexpected changes. Most importantly, it gave me credibility in the eyes of clients as I introduced them to local French culture, businesses, and community members."
