Etwas über mich - Something about me
How did I become a German teacher???I became interested in the German language in 9th grade when I accidently ended up with German on my schedule. I really enjoyed it and took four years of it in high school. I also had the opportunity to participate in an exchange program when I was seventeen. I spent that summer in Rosenheim, Germany and lived with a family.I continued to study German at Penn State 'just for fun'. I was planning to become an elementary teacher. However, during my junior year, after having had some excellent German courses, I decided to teach German.I studied abroad in Kiel, Germany at the Christian Albrechts Universität. I attended classes in German for six months. It was very challenging, but this is when I truly became fluent.I graduated from Penn State in 1998. I taught for one semester at Altoona High School before coming to Hollidaysburg in 1999. I have been teaching here in Hollidaysburg at the Junior and Senior High ever since. I am very blessed to have found a career I enjoy so much!!!
ADDITIONAL INFO:In 2004, I received my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. In 2009, I earned my English teaching certificate. Throughout my teaching career, I have participated in many extra curricular activities from softball coach to ski club adviser to German exchange program coordinator. Nowadays teaching German levels 1-5 and English, advising the German Club and Friendship Connection Program, and raising my three children keeps me busy enough!!!
