Why I Teach

I love teaching because I have a passion for sharing ideas and interacting with many different people. University campuses are exciting and energetic — I can’t think of a better work environment than St. Edward’s. The goals in my language classes are to be communicative and interactive. I encourage students to become immersed in the language they are studying.
