Degree & Qualifications
I completed a 5 year Honours Specialization in French Studies (French for Teaching) at Western University, where I maintained an overall average above 75%. My undergraduate program provided a strong academic and practical foundation in French language and culture, combining advanced coursework in French literature, French teaching pedagogy, linguistics and second language acquisition. Through linguistics courses, I developed a deep understanding of how languages are learned, including phonetics, syntax, and language development, which directly informs my instructional choices in FSL classrooms. I also completed coursework in translation, strengthening my accuracy, precision, and awareness of cross-linguistic structures. This interdisciplinary training has equipped me with both strong French proficiency and a research-informed approach to teaching French effectively to diverse learners.

My most important skills and experiences include my French-language proficiency and training in second language acquisition, supported by my Honours Specialization in French Studies and B.Ed. in Primary/Junior FSL. I emphasize my practicum experience across Grades K–8, where I planned and delivered curriculum-aligned lessons, implemented Growing Success-aligned assessment, and supported diverse learners, including ELLs and students with IEPs. I also foreground my strengths in classroom management, differentiation, inclusive and trauma-informed practice, and relationship-building, reinforced through my work at Oxford Learning and earlier roles as a classroom assistant and swim instructor. Together, these experiences demonstrate my ability to step into varied classroom contexts confidently, support student well-being and achievement, and contribute.
