How/Why is your work at BB meaningful to you:

As a child who grew up in an English community with a French Acadian mother, learning a second language was always important in our home. Having French language opened many doors throughout my life, and pairing that with music is a beautiful match that allows me to pass this gift on to other families and children.

Favorite adult band/singer in the language you teach:

George Belliveau and Bois-Joli

Your special way of getting the children's attention or unique teaching technique:

I am known for having a sparkle and magic in my classroom that is infectious. I have been teaching for over 16 years now and still love every moment connecting with families.

One reason why you think learning a foreign language is important at a young age:

The younger we learn a second language, the more that language becomes part of us. There is a critical time period to learn languages and skills and it allows the language or skill to blossom early and be pulled on later in life with much ease.
