Academics

I make my best effort each day to teach each class session with a refreshed mindset, so that I can help new students and meet their needs each school year.

My teaching objective is to help students learn how to communicate in a socially and situationally appropriate manner in the target language and culture.

I present to my students a multi-layered and multi-angled perspective on what it means to be French within the European Union as well as in the Francophone world.

"The language classroom is an inspiring locus where I share the elegance and the relevance of French studies with my students."

When students are effectively motivated, they can really enjoy the learning process.

I got to create incredible memories, travel across six different regions in Japan, and make lifelong friendships with people from all over the world.

"After all, I did fall in love with France, but I also fell in love with other countries and cultures, including my own."

I love Beijing because of countless great experiences that enabled me to love myself, my world, and the people around me.

Aprovechar [to make the most of]. . . . By keeping this proactive attitude, I was able to make Valencia my home in ways that I had never imagined.

In order to 'ama la vida' [love life], I embraced all of the hardships that came my way and the memories I made are filled with inexplicable happiness.
