Bio

About Me

I grew up near Seattle, Washington, and love everything about the Pacific Northwest. I first learned Swedish as an exchange student in Osby, Sweden, and have been studying the language and culture ever since. 


After college, I traveled the world for ten years, working as a flight attendant for United Airlines. In 2004, I received my MS in Education and began working as an academic adviser and teacher at Olympic College. 


In 2011, twenty years after I had first lived in Sweden, I decided to take my Swedish to a higher level, and returned to graduate school to earn my MA in Scandinavian Language and Literature from the University of Washington.  


I currently work at the University of Washington as a Swedish Lecturer and Academic Adviser for the Scandinavian Department. 



Experience

I am starting my fifth year teaching Swedish at the University of Washington. I have also taught Strategies for Success courses at Olympic College, facilitated workshops for international students at Edmonds Community College, and co-directed a study abroad program to Sweden. 

Interests

In my free time, I love to travel, plan new adventures, and read travel memoirs. I also enjoy hiking, practicing yoga, listening to storytelling podcasts, and riding the ferry. 

Membership

  • American Swedish Teachers and Researcher in America (ASTRA) 
  • Swedish Translators in North America (STiNA)
  • Seattle Chapter of the Swedish American Chamber of Commerce
