Meet The Team
Contacting Housing
Our staff are available to provide advice and insight on the Paris residential experience and help you deal with any problems that may arise throughout your time at AUP.
The best way to reach out to us is via email at housingaup.edu. All of our staff members monitor the inbox to ensure as prompt a response as possible. As we are often on-site in the residences, consulting with colleagues on cases, or holding scheduled or walk-in appointments with students, we are not always able to answer the phone immediately. However, if you reach out to us via email, we are happy to schedule a time for us to call you and answer any questions you may have!

The Housing Team
SIHAM MOUADHID
Manager of Residential Life
Hometown
Rabat, Morocco
What do you bring to the team?
I’m a former international student who has also navigated the college residential experience as both a student and staff member at Vanderbilt and Ohio State University, before landing at AUP. That definitely informs my work here!
Siham's Advice for Living in Paris
Become a regular at your local bistro or grocery store, and be nice to the clerks! Paris is a big city but your neighborhood will bring you into the fold when they start to see you as a familiar face (and you may get the occasional discount or perk as a result).
MICHELLE PONCE
First-Year Residential Life Assistant
Hometown
Acapulco, Mexico
What do you bring to the team?
As a former AUP student and international expat in Thailand, I have a lot of experience with navigating how to find and apply for housing. It’s a challenge that has taught me perseverance and adaptability.
Michelle's Advice for Living in Paris
Living in a new city is always daunting, but Paris has a great way of being small enough to get well acquainted with the neighborhoods, while still maintaining some anonymity. Explore as much as you can and take the chance to walk and discover all the hidden gems Paris has to offer in each arrondissement.
Arielle LePrevost
Housing Coordinator
Hometown
New Jersey, USA
What do you bring to the team?
As an American expat living in Paris, I have first-hand experience on what it is like going through the adjustment period of moving to a new country. I was also an RA in my university days in NYC, I have lots of experience assisting students make their housing their new home.
Michelle's Advice for Living in Paris
Take it one day at a time! Paris can feel like an overwhelming city, especially if you don’t have the language down yet. But don’t fret! A smile and trying as best you can in French goes a long way. Have fun exploring your neighborhood and you’ll be a local in no time.
Anna N' Semi
Housing Coordinator
Hometown
Brazzaville, Congo – Kapuvár, Hungary
What do you bring to the team?
As a former international student who studied in both the US and France, I experienced firsthand the challenges of cultural adaptation and living abroad. I have also worked with university students as a Peer Mentor and Peer Career Advisor, giving me an insight into both sides of academia and a thorough understanding of international education.
Anna's Advice for Living in Paris
Paris has some of the best markets and flea markets I’ve been to! Whether that’s fresh produce, jewelry, or home décor, you will find just about any- and everything there (including the occasional good bargain). Visit as many as you can, even if you just window-shop, you will be sure to enjoy their vibrant atmosphere.
SANDRA LEFAURE
Housing Logistics Coordinator
Hometown
Bordeaux, France
What do you bring to the team?
I’m a former international student in both England and the US and a former AUP student (for both my bachelor’s and master’s). At AUP, I was a student advisor and a part of the Student Government Association, as well as many committees. I was also the University’s first residential advisor. All this taught me a lot about the University and what it means to be an AUP student.
Sandra's Advice for Living in Paris
Paris feels at the same time like a big and a small city. You keep discovering new treasures, but at the same time you get to know the people in your neighborhood really well. My street is like a village: everyone knows everyone. Those people will become your support group.
Testimonials From Former RAs
This has been a great opportunity to fully integrate into the AUP community and meet other students. Overall, my experience has been positive, and the Housing Office has been very helpful in assisting me with this job.
Angelina
In my eyes, there are two sides to the RA job: the ‘building manager’ and the ‘community builder.’ Being a building manager is tough: from general upkeep, maintenance follow-ups and enforcing rules to generally being the go-to reliable question-answerer for 32 students. However, these duties are also meaningful ways for me to constantly build my resourcefulness, problem-solving skills, and accountability. As a community builder, I get to bring people together in fun ways, by making the building an extension of campus and a place that isn’t just for sleep, but is also a place to live and thrive with other students and friends. Being a community builder is very rewarding, and it’s a fun way to strengthen my leadership and planning skills.
