Willkommen to German! This will be my nineteenth year teaching German at Upper Merion. I began teaching after graduating with a B.A. in German studies from Dickinson College. While at Dickinson, I spent 1/2 my junior year studying in at the University of Bremen in Germany. I received my M.A. in Educational Leadership from Immaculata University. Aside from teaching German, I am happy to be the assistant Advisor for Student Council and advisor for the German club. I am very excited for this school year!
