Academic Interests

I believe that students grow and learn most by mastering the art and science of communication. How better to interact with mankind than by developing and utilizing the ability to listen and speak to others? Foreign language skills are of maximum importance during this dynamic age of globalization, as is experiencing life beyond the borders of one's home country. Study abroad enhances the transformative experience of international education: academically, personally, culturally and linguistically. It is my honor and joy to be a part of this process.
