Guten Tag! I am excited to be a part of the Grace School family. I started studying German during high school in Rice Lake, Wisconsin and continued throughout college. My junior year of college I spent in Jena, Germany. I fell in love with German culture, people and food (especially the bread and coffee). After my college graduation I spent one year teaching English to first-graders in Martin, Slovakia. I then accepted a German teaching position at Oshkosh North High School in Wisconsin. I taught there for three years after which my husband and I moved to South Carolina. We moved to Oak Park in 2015 and love it here.
