Biography

 

I've been the German teacher at Hempfield Area High School since 2005. Prior to working here, I studied abroad, worked for a company in education that helped pioneer the way for online education, and was an translator and in-house editor for an e-commerce company whose headquarters were in Cologne, Germany.
