I love the "ah-ha" moments! Helping students make connections and realize their own potential and goals. I use a student-centered approach- I want my students to set their own goals and chart their progress. I want students to realize the importance of being multilingual and the role it can play in their lives.

I developed a Preschool French language program. I was also a middle school French teacher for five years.
