I first became interested in World Languages when I was a child. I visited horse farms with my father who was a farrier. His job exposed me to Mexican workers who took care of the horses. In this I became enthralled with peoples, cultures and languages not my own. After I grew up I received a BA in French and English from the University of Kentucky. Unexpectedly, I had to graduate and needed another language class. I decided to learn Italian. Through this 'mistake', I have tutored many people through the years! After my undergraduate, I entered the working world and used my French in a variety of ways. I have been a missionary, professional clown and a tutor. Now I am celebrating 17 years in the classroom as a teacher. I have since earned my Master's in French Education and my Ed. S in Foreign language education. I am currently shopping for a PhD program. Through it all I have enjoyed working through the learning process with others. They have taught me as I have taught them. I look forward to helping you too!
