We recently checked back in with French graduate alum Pippa Marple, who has had an exciting year since graduating last spring. She shared the following update with us:
"I graduated from UW in June 2022 with an MA in French Studies, where I focused on French to English translation. Since then, I've moved to York, England where I started an MA program in Art History and began working at the Alliance Française de York. There, I've been able to use the second language teaching skills I developed at UW as I teach beginner and intermediate French students (and I'm also working as an administrator - mainly assisting students and facilitating social activities). Despite this busy schedule, I've managed to continue honing my translation skills and am excited to share that I was accepted to the Bristol Translates Summer School in July 2023. I'll spend a week in translation workshops learning from seasoned professionals, as well as attending networking events and industry talks. I look back fondly on my time as a student in the FIS department and all I learned there (which I am continuing to apply to my work today)."
Thanks for letting us celebrate your accomplishments, Pippa, and congratulations on all you've achieved!
