"Having changed my major from Biology to French, I had ESL Conversation Partners and that was my first experience with tutoring. Then, I was an intern at a Catholic Preschool teaching French and German. In May of 2001, I received my first B.A. from the University of North Carolina at Wilmington.

Since I wanted to teach, I applied to participate in the AGABUR Exchange Program, headed by a Professor from UCONN and based at Friedrich-Schiller University in Germany. I chose DaF as my major and IWK as my minor. There were also some French and translation classes that I took as well.

Then, I returned to the U.S and still thought that with that experience in a classroom in Austria as well as my credits from the University of Salzburg, I could work in a classroom in the U.S. I found out that as a sub for Virginia Beach Schools, I would need to be certified, so I started a Master's in Education Concentration TESOL at ODU in 05/2009. I received the M.S.Ed degree in 05/2011.
