Nathalie Ettzevoglou
I’m the course instructor! I received my BA from the University of Richmond, MA in French Literature from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and I’m currently working on my PhD here at the University of Connecticut. I will be specializing in French Medieval literature in particular the study of magic and medicine in narrative texts from the XI-XV centuries.
Kathleen Silva
Hi! I am a junior at the University of Connecticut, majoring in History with a focus on pre-Civil War U.S. I enjoy long walks on the beach, yoga, reading… the typical things you might find in a boring personals column. The only unusual part of my life is the 17 years of Irish Step Dancing that I have enjoyed competing in.

I’m 20 years old and a sophomore at the University of Connecticut. I’m a Human Development and Family Studies major pursuing a career as a high school guidance counselor. In my spare time, I enjoy watching and participating in sports and hanging out with my friends.

Michelle Jones (aka Shelly)
I am a junior here at the University of Connecticut and hope that our blog is useful! I recently went to Paris and have been interested in France ever since I took language courses in High School. In addition to playing soccer, I enjoy hanging out with my friends, shopping, and look forward to having a break in all my mathmatics courses becuase I am studing to become an actuary.
Jamie Pryor
I am currently a junior at the University of Connecticut majoring in English and working towards a certification to teach in high schools. I love hanging out with my friends as well as reading and writing (makes sense I guess).
Holly Elliott
Hello! I’m Holly, a 3rd-year Accounting major here at UConn. I work (a lot) at a restaurant called Rocco’s in Manchester. I bought a condo last summer, so I spend a lot of time working on my place. I love music, but I’m a bit of a music snob as I pretty much hate anything that gets played on the radio. I also am really obsessed with all things vintage – ask to see my new sunglasses!
Yovanny Henao
what’s up everyone! I’m a Junior at the University of Connecticut and I’m majoring in Economics. I took four years of French in High School and managed to get by. Hopefully there won’t be too many French words I don’t know.
Addler Pluviose
Sak-pase! I am a native New Yorker of Haitian descent working towards an Economics degree at the University of Connecticut. I enjoy trying new foods, music, poetry, reading, and basketball to name a few. I visited France and found it to be a worhtwhile experience.(though the Mona Lisa is pretty small).p.s. I’m on my 4th semester at UConn- this is the most interactive class by far-sad you are not here to join us.
