I have been at St. Mark since: 2012

Personal: I am originally from Nimes, France, I studied in Paris, France, then lived in the U.K., and finally moved to the U.S.A. in 1996. I have been teaching foreign languages from preschool to high school in France, England, and the U.S.A. since 1992. I speak a dozen languages at various levels of fluency and look forward to learning more. My husband, Adrian, is from Downpatrick, Northern Ireland. We have two sons, Aenghus and Ambrose, born here in the U.S.A., and a Scottish pet Sheltie called Marshall. I love languages, literature, music and history.

Philosophy of Education: To share my passion for other languages and cultures and help students develop an international awareness and a sense of community on a truly global scale in an environment that nurtures a vibrant Catholic curriculum and promotes world languages toward the global evangelizing mission of the church.

Mission Statement: My mission is to foster an appreciation of all languages and cultures.
