After 14 years at Greenhill School where I was an A student, in the National Honor Society, French National Honor Society, Quill and Scroll and AP classes, I moved to Austin to attend the University of Texas. I double majored in Education and French. I graduated in December of 2008 with my Bachelors of Science in Applied Learning and Development. I graduated with my Bachelors of Arts in French in December 2013. I am in Kappa Delta Pi, Pi Alpha Phi, and Alpha Phi Omega. I qualified for Mensa before I was 6 years old. School has always come easily to me. I have been a teacher/tutor/mentor for the past 13 years and I cannot imagine doing anything else with my life. I love my students and I love to teach!! I am going to the American University of Paris Fall 2015 to get my Masters in Global Communication. I love France, speak French fluently, and cannot wait to get back in the classroom as a student!
