Fun Facts

I love to play volleyball - whether that is in the sand or on the court! I actually played in Denmark, when I studied there for four months in 2011. I also love to read when I have time. I have read all of Jane Austen's books!

This is achieved through organization and routine, but also through figuring out what works best for each individual student. The hardest thing for me at the beginning of every class is figuring out how I am going to study this semester. Once I figure out how to study, it just comes down to doing it. I also hope to instill excitement in my students and get them to see the importance in what they are learning. If the s
