I am a Latin enthusiast! I grew up a Hoosier but made my way to Ohio to earn my BA in Classical Languages from Miami University and then to Colorado to earn my MA in Latin from the University of Colorado, Boulder. My love for Latin is completely rooted in my high school experiences with my Latin teacher. From language exercises to vocabulary games to plays, Latin was never boring and certainly never portrayed as “dead.” The energy that my teacher created was enthralling. I was able to show off skills that I did not know I had, and my teacher appreciated and encouraged my unique learning style. From grade 9 onward I was hooked! My Latin classroom is inclusive, and I strive to bring out my students’ best attributes just like my Latin teacher did for me.
