Summer in Ottawa is so pleasant. Moderately energetic, several local events, not too busy, not too hot, with a usual sense of community.

4 days catching up with friends in the states

I visited my friends in Austin, TX, last week. First international trip in 10 months! There had been a little bit of psychological struggle over the past few months, so it was great to break the routine and detach myself from the internal noise.

8 months of practicing French

While building my interdisciplinary and international career from Canada's capital, I remain committed to promoting English-French bilingualism in my work.
