Born in Los Angeles and raised in a French-American high school, Juliette grew up speaking French at home and going to visit family in France during the summer. As a high school sophomore, she went to live in La Rochelle with her great-grandmother to get her French high school diploma before coming back to LA for university. She is now wrapping up her double major in Psychology and Mandarin Chinese at UCLA. In her free time, Juliette loves to learn foreign languages, play beach volleyball and train for races.
