Bonjour tout le monde et bienvenue! I am so happy that you have chosen to study French!

My love of the French language began when I was a little girl and I would listen to my French grandmother speak in her native tongue. I learned French in school (like you!) and majored in French Education at the University of Delaware to be able to share my passion for this beautiful language with others. While pursuing my Master’s degree in French Language and Culture at New York University in Paris, I met my husband. We returned to the US, and I began teaching at Westfield High School in 2004. We now have two children who we are raising to be bilingual, and we look forward to returning to France every other summer to spend time with family and friends.

I am excited to be part of your French learning journey, and I am looking forward to a great year ahead!
