Bonjour

I fell in love with French at UCLA where I received a double major in French and Art History and graduated Magna Cum Laude.  It was the love of art and French culture that motivated me to keep learning and to become a French teacher.  I received my teaching credential to teach in the public high school setting where I taught all levels, from French 1 to AP until my first child was born.

​

Teaching French comes out of my own passion for the language and culture.  And as a life-long learner myself, I believe that the learning French can be done in a way that is enriching, beautiful, and challenging in the best way.  I use art, music, living books, poetry, and other cultural insights to draw students into this wonderful journey.

​

My greatest joy in teaching has been educating my three kids at home, who have since also become devoted Francophiles.  I love travelling with my family, being out in nature, serving at my church with my husband, reading Wendell Berry, and I'm always planning my family's next trip to France.
