Kirstie graduated with a Masters in French from UC Davis in 2018 and taught French as an associate instructor at UC Davis until 2020. She is currently a researcher at the Center for Digital Government and the Center for Digital Education. She says, "The French department at SSU played a large role in my success in graduate school. The program, my time studying abroad in Paris and my time as a language lab facilitator prepared me for rigorous graduate level language coursework. The program taught me critical thinking skills and cross-cultural communication skills that have helped me in every aspect of life and especially in my current work as a researcher.”
