Hi!  I began my teaching career in 1998 as a teaching assistant at UGA when I was working on my master's degree in French and Spanish Linguistics.  I have been a French and/or Spanish teacher ever since.  One of the things I like best to do is travel.  I have traveled extensively, starting with a semester abroad in France when I was an undergrad at Berry College in Rome, Georgia.  Go Vikings!  The next year, I went to Germany to visit a friend who was studying there.  I participated in a Fulbright Group Project in Senegal, Africa in the summer of 2014.  I coordinate trips abroad with students.  I have traveled extensively personally as well.  Needless to say, if there is a plane taking off, I would like to be on it.  

I am certified in French and Spanish. I have taught both high school and middle school.  I am very happy to be working in the same community where my children go to school. My favorite thing to do professionally is teaching students their first words in another language.  I am currently working on my specialist degree through Valdosta State University.
