I currently teach Japanese online for Idaho Digital Learning Alliance and North Carolina Virtual Public School. I have over 13 years of experience teaching online and I am one of the lucky people who can truly say I love my job. I serve as an Instructional Leader at NC Virtual and work closely with the conversation coaches who help our students master their new language skills. I have also served as the series facilitator for their annual Online Language Pedagogy webinar series hosted by the National Foreign Language Resource Center at the University of Hawaii at Manoa since 2017.

I live in Pittsburgh, PA with my 3 kids, 2 cats and 2 dogs. In my spare time I love to travel and spend time with those I love.
