=__Sur Moi__=

I have been studying French since I was a student at Southern Regional Middle School and I am looking forward to coming home to share what I have learned since then with the next generation of Southern students!

I also have a degree in political science and really enjoy the study of American political theory. I love learning in general and am happy to help you with all your classes, not just French! Stop by for extra help anytime - all I ask is that you tell me in advance.

When I'm not working, my favorite activities are surfing and snowboarding. I also love to travel! This summer, I spent three weeks in Biarritz,France, where I had the pleasure of seeing the Roxy Jam Women's World Longboarding Championship. It was amazing to surf beside the best women longboarders in the world! I also like taking trips to Canada several times a year to snowboard or just hang out with my friends who live there.

Finally, I believe learning another language is very important. One thing I have realized in my travels is that Americans are unique in being monolingual (speaking only one language). Most people speak two, three, or four languages! Moreover, speaking another language opens up the door for us to experience other cultures first-hand. The most important thing I have learned from this is that there are good people in every part of the world, and the biggest factor to how we are treated by others is our own perspective (and behavior) towards them!
