I was recently honored as the 2023 Teacher of the Year by the Foreign Language Association of North Carolina!
I lived in Cameroon, a French speaking country in Africa, from 2004-2006. My son was born there!
I taught at Rain Forest International School. This is one of my Spanish classes.
Then I moved to the Philippines, where I taught English, French, & Spanish. This is a middle school English class.
Here's how I got to school in the Philippines. The minivan I drive today is a lot more boring.
My dog, Luna
(she's ugly, but full of love!)
My sweet family
My pet hedgehog, Pico
(he's cute, but grumpy)
Français est fabuleux!
