Devika L. M. Patrick

Santa Fe,NM

Summary

Internationally reared and comprehensively educated in art and culture, I am among the few American undergraduates seeking superior education in France. I have had a lifelong love for linguistics, cultural anthropology, and analysis - all of which were honed by my time at New Mexico's only statewide public arts school. I have had a profound connection with my community through my career at Santa Fe's oldest locally-owned bookstore, and have succeeded in multiple advanced academic courses. My life story is one of commitment to culture and society, having spent years in North America and Oceania, and participated in countless extracurriculars for the sake of my community. I wish to cement myself as a citizen of the world, and as a cultural professional, by completing a three-year Licence at a French university.
