Becca Horton

Class: 2013

Graduated with a French major in 2013
Becca works at Okizu, a non-profit summer camp and peer support program for families affected by childhood cancer. She says, "French played a large role in guiding me to where I am presently. Through studying French at Sonoma State, I received an excellent education from two profound professors. I was also given the opportunity to study abroad in Paris, which I can truly say was one of the best decisions of my life. This taught me communication skills, to be independent, culturally accepting, and to be able to adapt to multiple situations. Studying French and living in Paris have taught me these lessons, as well as many more, which I now apply in my daily work life. I am able to work with all different types of families from all different backgrounds. I am able to adapt to situations when needed, be flexible, and handle stressful situations with ease. I have even used French on occasion! I know that having French as one of my majors influenced my life greatly and has contributed to me being who I am today."
