Teaching/Research
I teach all levels of German and am passionate about language teaching and helping to develop new language teachers for the future. I love working on practical projects like language textbooks, hoping that this work makes language learning more fun for students. Most recently, I've been working on campus on our project for the QEP on Global Learning.

Academic achievement
In the last many years I've become active in developing projects to improve language teaching in the college and the K-12 settings. By working with colleagues in our department, we've developed and implemented several federally-funded projects at App and in our region, and I hope to do even more!
