Bonjour !

This will be my sixth year teaching at Clements and I am proud of being a member of the Ranger-family.
I have been passionate about speaking French with my students from the very first day! 
I love conversing in French with my students. I cannot wait to get to know my new students and to meet everyone again for this 2025-2026 school year. 

Some more about myself; I have lived in Sugar Land since 2014, with my husband and our 2 daughters. Last July 1st, we moved to Seabrook Texas, to live closer to the water to be able to do our favorite outdoor activities. We love the outdoors. 

During the weekends, you can find me on the water, on our sailing vessel or on shore, cheering on my daughters with their travel teams at Lakewood Yacht Club or sometimes even out of state. DIY projects, cooking, baking and reading are also my favorite things to do in my free time.

Some history...My French career started in a small town in the South of France, on the Côte d'Azur, where I had my first training period (6 months abroad) in Tourism and Hotel Business. Then, after that, I continued in the country for another 'Stage' in the French Alps, where I stayed afterwards and was hired to manage a resort in the Alpes. Then, after 5 years, I returned to the Netherlands, where I then earned my Bachelor of Education with my Major in French at the University of Rotterdam. I was hired right away by the recognized High School of The Hague, where I taught French for 4 years. In 2008, I followed my husband to the States. Being a mom of a 4-month-old baby at that time, I worked as a part-time teacher at different private schools. I taught French and Dutch for several years to all ages. Teaching is my passion and, next to that, you could say that I am a real Francophile ;-). 

Alors, SOYEZ PRÊTS ! C'EST PARTI !
