Fiona Devaux
Student, Creator of "Girls & Boys" Podcasts
|
Fiona Devaux is 19 years old. She grew up in Monaco in the South of France and arrived in Florida in 2014 when she was 13. Her family moved to the United States in pursuit of the American Dream. They chose Florida because of the warm climate and a network of friends who had chosen the Sunshine State before them. It is with them that she celebrated her first Christmas in America. She started high-school as a Freshman without speaking much English. By the time she graduated, she had learned Spanish and English, deepening the knowledge of the English language by watching television, movies and listening to podcasts. Fiona is currently attending Florida Atlantic University as a Political Science major. Her plan is to go to Law School and become a Constitutional Lawyer. She also works as a receptionist in a barber shop.
Fiona strongly believes that living in the United States is already offering her a better life and more opportunities. One project she feels strongly about is the production of a series of podcasts called “The Girls & the Boys” which she will be developing with a friend. She started having bouts of epilepsy a year ago and decided to share her experience about that as well as discuss issues around self-love, mental health and the challenges of “becoming the best version of yourself” – all topics that many Millenials and GenZ’s are struggling with. While she wants to empower girls, she hopes that adults will also becomes listeners. So watch out for “the Girls & Boys” coming to you very soon!
