About
Over the years, I have taught in multiple institutions of higher education in the Detroit metropolitan area. As such, I have had the opportunity to build many courses at all proficiency levels including online classes in which I have fostered a culturally responsive and inclusive classroom environment. I am delighted to be part of this department and I hope to continue sharing my enthusiasm for French and Francophone languages and cultures with students while helping them develop a critical eye via the exploration of interdisciplinary subjects and connections between cultures, literatures, and languages. My goal is that students achieve a better understanding and greater awareness of the world around them. I hope that they grow as individuals, informed citizens, and active members of the global community who can promote innovation, change, and greater inclusiveness.
