Bridgette's Programs
Bridgette is a fourth time CIEE Program Leader who has led summer programs in Toulouse and Paris, France, as well as Ferrara, Italy. She is currently a French teacher located in Rochester, NY. She also works for the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages- you may unknowingly see her work sometime on the AAPPL exam!
Working with CIEE during the summer is an unforgettable adventure that she enjoys thoroughly each time. The best part of the adventure is being able to help aid in the rich and rewarding experience of the students who are being immersed into a new and exciting culture. Every summer and every group of students bring something unexpected and thrilling.
