I come from a town called Perpignan, in the south of France near Spain, on the Mediterranean sea. I came to Minnesota seven years ago after I completed my master's in geography in France. For three years, I was an assistant in the Edina French immersion program, and then decided to become a teacher here in the United States. I went back to school and earned my master's in education from St. Mary's University. Then I worked for two years as a sixth-grade social studies teacher in the extended French program at Valley View Middle School in Edina. Today, I look forward to the new challenge of teaching at L'Etoile du Nord, and I welcome the opportunity to work with a dynamic group of students and parents.
