Clara Schroeder
Class: 2019
Graduated with a French major in 2019
"Since graduating from SSU in May 2019 with an environmental studies major and French minor, I have been using the skills I learned as an undergraduate to pursue different ventures. Currently, I am in the process of applying to graduate school to study spiritual psychology after returning from my second trip to Nepal. Studying French at Sonoma State helped me develop better communication and analytical skills which has been invaluable in my work as a volunteer teacher in Nepal and in my job as an outdoor retail sales specialist. I thoroughly enjoyed learning more about French history and culture and made life-long friends in the department. I see being fluent in French and English as a real strength for my future career as I plan to work internationally and speaking more than one language really widens my options." Clara has been accepted into the Spiritual Mind, Body Masters Program at Columbia University.
