During my studies as a musician( BM from  Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle and in the Master’s Program at California State University, Long Beach) I became interested in the German language, culture and literature. I received my MA in German Studies from California State University, Long Beach in 2004 and have the pleasure of visiting Germany twice yearly. I have been passionately and enthusiastically teaching German at various Colleges in Southern California since 2004.
