Here I am at age 6

This is my second year at L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion and I am very excited to be here. The rich culture in our school makes it a wonderful place to be, and I like to call it "my second home." I am proud to be a part of such a supportive, nurturing team of professionals. I come from Minneapolis and had taught K-8 there for three years, before school, after school and in a Kindergarten partnership. Prior to that I taught in Early Childhood for seven years while I was working on my teaching license, which was done through the Urban Teacher Collaborative of Bemidji State University and Metropolitan State University. The practicums took place in various diverse elementary classrooms throughout the Twin Cities.

I am the mom of two teenage boys, so there are never dull moments at home. In my free time I enjoy marathon canoe training and racing, also skate skiing in the winter months. As a child I grew up in San Francisco and learned my French at the French American Bilingual School. I attended five years of public school in Marin County, California before my family sailed to Hawaii where I went to college for my first time. After living on Maui for sixteen years we moved to Minnesota, where Blake and Sasha were born. My suitcase is packed and I'm ready to travel, as it is in my blood, because I was born in Athens, Greece. I have been to some French speaking countries, such as the Marquesas Islands in 1977, Tahiti in 1986 and 1990, Quebec for marathon canoe races in 1999 and 2000; I've been to Shanghai, China in 2004 for Womens Masters Dragonboat Races and Auckland, New Zealand for World Championship Outrigger Canoe Races.

I am proud to be a member of the Sunshine Committee which supports our staff and school climate. I am passionate about teaching the youngest children, as I feel they are eager, curious and enthusiastic learners. With the parent-teacher partnership in place our students will benefit from this relationship, gathering successes along the way. I look forward to being a part of the beginning of your child's life-long learning adventure!
