I am excited to be teaching all levels of German at Coeur d'Alene High School. I previously taught German and Gifted and Talented in Gillette, Wyoming for 10 years. I also coached academic competitions, speech and debate, and volleyball. In that time, I took 3 groups of students to Europe, one of which was for a home-stay program in Munich, Germany for 10 days. I attended the University of Wyoming where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in both German and Education. Two summers ago, I took a group of students, parents, friends, and family over to Europe for 14 days. We toured London, Paris, Lucerne, Munich, Prague, and Berlin. I hope to take another trip in two years. Last year, my very first German students from CHS graduated.
