Autobiographical Sketch

I was born in Limoges, France in 1970. I completed a B.A. English at the University of Limoges in 1994, a Masters in English literature at the University of Poitiers in 1996 and my doctorate in Medieval Studies at the Graduate Center for Medieval Studies (CESM) of the University of Poitiers in 2002. In 1996, I was sent to Acadia University as a “lectrice”. The first week-end I met my future husband and I have lived in Nova Scotia ever since. I have taught French as a part-time instructor at different universities in Nova Scotia. I also work for a second language school. I have been working as a part-time lecturer at Mount Saint Vincent University since 2011.
