After many years abroad, she returned to the US to pursue a Ph.D. in foreign language education. She is currently a doctoral candidate at The University of Texas at Austin. Since moving to Texas, she has taught in both university and adult education programs. She finds teaching a rewarding and enriching experience. She thinks it’s the best job in the world!
