I was born in Glasgow, Scotland, raised and educated in Canada and have been happily living in this part of Florida for the past 15 years. I received my Honours B.A. in French and Spanish from the University of Waterloo, with a fourth year "abroad" at Laval University in Ste. Foy, Québec. My teaching degree is from the University of Western Ontario and my Master's in Bilingualism and Bi-culturalism with an emphasis on ESOL is from the University of Florida. Go Gators!
