About Me

I am so excited to start my fourth year as the French teacher to the most inspired students of Georgetown High School! I started studying French at the age of 11 and French has taken me to many wonderful places. I'm glad you are joining me on the journey this year. 

I studied French throughout high school and took the AP exam, which I hope many of you will set as a goal. I received 20 college credits before I entered Penn State University. That set me on the path to continue to study French in college.

I attended Penn State University and majored in French and Business. I received a Fulbright scholarship and taught English in a French high school for a year after college.  I also worked for AT&T in New York City for many several years where I had a French boss. 

I am married and have three sons.  My oldest son is starting his sophomore year at Auburn University and is in the professional flight program.  One day we will get "free" airplane tickets to travel whenever we want! 😀 We also have a senior at Round Rock High school who plays football, and an 8th grader who loves all sports and fishing.  My husband is busy just keeping up with us all!

This year will have challenges as we continue to learn during a global pandemic.  Just think! We are part of an historic year!  I want you to know that I am here for you - to teach you French language and culture, to help you navigate your time at GHS, and to support you in your goals. It is going to be a "belle aventure". I can't wait to see where your French learning takes you!
