I am a former middle-school English teacher (and former high-school French teacher). I am certified to teach English (grades 6-12), History/Government/Social Studies (grades 6-12), Psychology (grades 6-12), Health (grades PreK-12), General Music (grades PreK-12), and French (grades PreK-12). I have also taught AP French and college-level French. I have a B.A. in Modern Languages (French) and Sociology, an M.A. in Modern Languages (French/Second-Language Acquisition), and an M.A. in Teaching (Secondary).

I love teaching and learning. I also love reading, playing the piano, walking my dog, and watching foreign-language movies (I love all movies, but I love practicing French & Spanish, and listening to other languages even if I don't know them). I also enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, kayaking, biking, and roller skating, but I do those less frequently!
