The 2022-2023 school year will be my 21st year of teaching and my 14th year here at Emerson. Go Eagles! I grew up in Livonia and attended Livonia Public Schools. In 1983 I spent my senior year in Spain as an international exchange student. I lived with a host family and attended high school there. That experience was life-changing for me, I returned fluent in a new language and with an appreciation of different cultures and ways of life. I enjoy sharing my enthusiasm for learning a new language and leaning about new cultures! 

In my free time I like spending time outdoors, traveling and reading.
