Summary of Experience
Throughout my career, I have loved sharing my passion for language and the arts with students of all levels. I teach French from introductory through advanced levels, both in the classroom and privately. My background also includes directing children's choirs, teaching piano, and leading musical performances. Here at Mary Help, I enjoy supporting our community in diverse ways --- whether I am teaching French and Culinary Arts, advising the Freshmen class, accompanying the choir, or helping our music program thrive.

Personal Message
In my classroom, I focus on helping students build authentic pronunciation, fluency, and a deep appreciation for world cultures. Having lived in different countries and speaking four languages, I love sharing my passion for cross-cultural connection to help students become confident communicators in a rapidly changing world.
