I am a highly dedicated, creative, and passionate educator with a Master of Arts in Teaching Foreign Languages with a Major in French from the Lewis & Clark Graduate School of Education & Counseling, and a Bachelor of Arts in Music from Lewis & Clark College, with whom I had a full tuition undergraduate scholarship. I have over 15 years of experience in education, including over 10 years of experience teaching French. I earned my 5-year FL Professional Certificate for World Language - French, Grades K-12, the highest teaching certificate the state of FL has to offer.

I also possess the Diplme d'tudes franaises et the Diplme approfondi de langue franaise from the Universit de Nancy II in Nancy, France, where I had the unique privilege of studying abroad. I also have a certificate in International Studies from Follo Folkehgskole in Vestby, Norway.


In addition to tutoring with Varsity Tutors, I am currently a Distance Learning Associate Language Instructor for Yorktown Systems Group, Inc., where I tutor French to adult students in the military preparing for the OPI and DLPT exams.
