I was born in France and lived there until I was 12 years old when I moved with my mother and sister to Kissimmee, Florida. I started school in the United States in 6th grade and had to learn a new language and culture. This was way before the accessibility of the internet, so coming to the United States was a big culture shock. I am married and have a daughter. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a degree in psychology. Prior to going back to school to obtain my teaching certification, I worked in Benefits Administration. I have been teaching French for the last 12 years and am happy to have made the switch from corporate to teaching. I am excited to be a part of 2 campuses this year, Otto and Murphy Middle School.
