How would you describe yourself?

I am a usually quiet person who contributes and participates where and when necessary. I am quite lively around people I know and awkward around those I don’t.

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear French Polynesia?

A former French colony that is still under and dependent on the French administration with a rich culture, close-knit communities, and beautiful scenery.

What do you most look forward to during the French Polynesia program?

I look forward to seeing and learning cultural aspects that are different from those I know. I also look forward to learning more about the language.

What has been the most meaningful idea/fact you have discovered or learned about this program so far?

Empathy and communication are very important for the foundation of a common ground.

At this point in your life, what is important/meaningful to you?

Being able to take accountability for my mistakes and push forward in life no matter what happens.
