I enjoy interacting with students and colleagues and like to also learn from them. I ask students to do web projects because it makes things more real, more fun and teaches them a very useful skill today. I also want students to see that learning French goes beyond learning language, culture and literature, which in itself is taken from life.
Literature is about human beings and more.
My research interests deal with poetry and the works of three contemporary French women writers who fight for a more unified and harmonious world. I hope that Pomona College teaches all of us to contribute to this task. I love to play tennis, play the guitar and sing. The study of a French writer a few years ago instilled in me the need to grow vegetables and flowers and appreciate the joys of nature. I still do.
