Introduction

German language instructor in the Basic Language Program as well as upper level courses. Special interest in developing new upper level courses: German fairy tales, Business German, German Composition.

I come from Poland but went to school and graduated from high school in Germany. I try to visit Germany (especially Berlin) at least once a year- in connection to a professional development. I always say that Berlin is my third home- after Poland and Chicago, where I live with my husband and two kids. We are a multilingual family.
