I love language and believe in a philosophy of having fun. I learn best when I enjoy what I do and think that is crucial to keep students engaged. A personal connection makes a huge difference. I have a Bachelor of Music (Theory and Composition) and a Master of Arts (German Studies) from the University of New Mexico. As a graduate student, I taught German for two and a half years. My favorite part about teaching is the questions I get asked: they cause me to think, learn, and improve.
