I am majoring in politics, and double minoring in legal studies and German Studies. After studying in Germany in high school and teaching at the German International School Chicago, I have gained a passion for German language learning and teaching. I am happy to advise any student who may need assistance with class, connecting with German studies professors, and finding study abroad opportunities. I have absolutely loved getting to know the German Studies faculty, especially through my GER independent study course. I look forward to meeting with you!
