My name is Catherine Davis. I am from Connecticut in the United States. I enjoy dancing, writing, cooking, reading, traveling and photography. I work in nonprofit. I am studying Italian because after a recent trip to Italy, I fell in love with the people, language, culture and history. And, as someone who majored in Communication Studies in college, I understand the value and importance of learning a second language. Unlike in high school, when we are required to learn a language as part of the curriculum, I am eager to learn Italian and begin conversing in the language. On italki, I am looking to improve my conversation skills in Italian, meet new people & make new friends.
