One of my favorite things about teaching is Witnessing my students' progression—seeing them develop confidence and mastery, whether in language skills, historical analysis, or critical thinking. I am driven by the belief that effort leads to progress, and it’s deeply rewarding to watch their hard work pay off—whether through a conversation in French, a well-crafted paragraph, or thoughtful engagement with new ideas. I strive to create a classroom environment that fosters curiosity, deep exploration, and meaningful discussions, especially when students show genuine interest in cultural differences and shared experiences. That curiosity is invigorating and reminds me why I chose to teach.
When I'm not teaching, I like to stay active by running and exercising, dive into captivating novels and movies, cook new recipes, cheer on my children at their sports games, and travel to France with my family to reconnect with our roots and explore new experiences together.
