Background
Reading about my background, you will understand why I consider myself a multicultural person. I was born in 1989 in the Ivory Coast, a French speaking country located in West Africa.
I am the last child of a family of five children, which three of them are triplets. My parents have always provided the best for my siblings and I. Like all loving parents, they wanted us to have a stable life, good education and bright future. Since our native country was politically unstable, we left Africa when I was ten years old and resettled in France in 1999. I spent eleven years of my life in that beautiful country and became a French citizen.

After my third year of college, I decided to come to the United States to receive an education in English. I believe that speaking multiple languages will be incredibly advantageous for me in the business world. This is how I ended up settling down in Philadelphia in 2011. I am receiving a sound education at Temple University and enjoy discovering the rich culture of the United States.
I am extremely proud of my journey that turned me into an autonomous, studious, sociable and open-minded person.
