Do you have any favorite bands? If I had to pick one, it would be The Strokes.

What would be your ideal date night? A music concert followed by dinner.
What are your favorite outdoor activities? I am on the Duke Rugby team, but apart from that I am a huge skier and love mountain climbing and safaris on horseback.
Favourite ice cream flavor? I like fruity ice creams, so it would probably be mango sorbet.
What are your favourite places that you have travelled to? I had an awesome time bungee jumping off Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and Madagascar is one of my favourite places on earth.
What is your favorite spot on campus? Hands down the Duke Gardens.
What is your favorite cuisine and/or dish? I’m biased because I’m French but my favourite dish would have to be duck magret.
What do you miss most about France? The sarcasm of the people, the food and drinking really good wine.
What do you like most about being a sophomore? I love living in an apartment rather than a freshman dorm room, and also being able to feel much more connected to the people and feeling more connected to Duke having been here for a year.
How would you describe your personal style? European.
