Here’s the most interesting passage for me.
« Lopez-Senechal is the daughter of a Mexican photographer, father Carlos, and a globetrotting aspiring model, mother Sophie, who left France for Mexico and met her husband during a photo shoot.
Lopez-Senechal was born in Guadalajara, Mexico’s second-largest city, and lived there until she was 5, when her parents divorced. She spent most of her childhood in Grenoble, France, surrounded by the Alps, near the borders of Switzerland and Italy. She played club basketball from ages 8-18 before spending a year in Ireland at the North Atlantic Basketball Academy.
That move helped her, once again, adapt to a new culture. Already fluent in Spanish and French, she studied English and, with great help from her stepfather, Tim Presto, an American expatriate who had met Sophie while working in France, continually reached out to colleges, setting up campus visits. »
Lou has a French accent when she speaks English.
