Carlie Hughes
Class: 2016
Graduated with a French major in 2016.
Carlie says, "The French program at SSU was crucial to my lifelong pursuit of knowledge. After studying abroad in Paris. I discovered a love for the culture surrounding French wine. I am currently a sommelier at a French-influenced winery in Healdsburg, CA. I am able to use my knowledge of French culture every day and love when I get to speak the language to our winemaker, chefs, and francophone guests. I remember fondly the lessons I learned from the French professors at Sonoma State University and use the skills and knowledge I gained while at the university in my day-to-day life. I also tutor aspiring francophones in French as I used to at SSU. The French language and culture has always been an important part of my life and will continue to be just as important in my future."
