I'm a German native born in Wuppertal, Germany, who came to the US in July 1990. I had met my husband in Stuttgart, Germany. Curiosity about the United States, and the place where my husband came from made me step on the plane and I have stayed ever since. We have two wonderful children, boy and girl, live in Redmond, WA, and try to visit Germany every year to see Oma and Opa, and the rest of the family. I enjoy doing all kinds of sports, Jazzercise and weightlifting in particular, I started taking piano lessons in 1999, I love to quilt, and read, and I love cats. We adopted a little black cat that was found in a dumpster. His name is Wynston (named after Wynton Marsalis. I know!), and he is trying very hard to get along with his older "cat step-sister" Mieze who is very old.

I have been teaching German and French at BCC since Spring 1992. I was trained as a German and French teacher in Stuttgart, Germany, after attending the University of Tübingen and Freiburg in the South of the country. I got my Magister and 1. Staatsexamen in Freiburg. I went through a two year teacher training Referendariat in Stuttgart. I also spent a 1 1/2 years in France (Paris and Tours) where I had the opportunity to immerse myself into the French language, food, culture and lifestyle, and I absolutely loved it, and would very much enjoy going back.
