A native Oregonian, I lived in Rome, Italy from 1982 -1992 as an English language teacher, where I studied and had an Italian husband. My two children were born in Rome and my daily life as an Italian resident led to my fluency in the language.

My language training includes completion of the program in Italian Language at Societa' Dante Alighieri in Rome in 1983. I am a graduate of Portland State University.

Since moving home to Portland, Oregon in 2000, I have been tutoring Italian privately, teaching at PCC, Riverdale High School, NW Academy, and Nike, Inc. among other places.
