Hi, I’m a Professor of French and Francophone studies. I have been teaching here at OSU since Fall of 2003, transferring from Purdue University, where I was a Visiting Assistant Professor. I teach mostly upper-division courses in French and Francophone literatures, cultures and cinema. In addition to coordinating the French program, I also direct our Summer Study Abroad Program in Lyon.
Salut! I have been teaching both face-to-face and online language, culture and literature courses in French at OSU since 2018. As a learner of languages myself, I can relate to the vulnerability one feels when learning and communicating in a non-primary language; therefore, I strive to structure a learning environment that is positive, inclusive, flexible, where all are invited to participate in knowledge sharing. Since communication is at the heart of learning a language, both on-line and face-to-face courses include interactive and collaborative activities. I look forward to being a part of your learning journey!
Bonjour, I have been an instructor of French here at OSU for several years now. I also taught at other institutions, such as Willamette University and PCC . I am an architect by trade, but I also have a graduate degree in Interior Design. I teach a variety of courses, including 2nd year French, French fashion, French gastronomy, and Food cultures from the Francophone world. I love jewelry making, traveling, hiking, and exploring new cuisines among other hobbies.
Bonjour ! I was born and raised in France and moved to Oregon in 2012. An English teacher back home, I started teaching French at OSU in 2015. I teach both online and on the Corvallis campus. What I love most about my work as a language instructor is to see the smiles on my students’ faces when they realize they can communicate in French. From greeting someone on your very first day of class, all the way to chatting with fluent French speakers from around the world in our upper-division courses, your language journey is only starting at OSU and will take you to places you would never have anticipated. I hope that I will have the opportunity to accompany you in the first steps that you will be taking toward your exploration of the French language and Francophone cultures! À bientôt, j’espère !
