Bonjour,
This week, we are happy to present one of our new teachers at AFD, Quint Bosse! 

Quint was born and raised in Kentucky and moved to Denver in 2022. He started learning French at 13 years old and has been in love with the language, culture and history ever since. He holds a Master’s degree in French and Francophone Studies and has been teaching French at the university level for the past 5 years. Quint loves reading, creating historical costumes and spending time with his niece and nephews! We are excited to have him on our team.
