Welcome to my class
For those of you who may not know me, let me introduce myself.
This is my fifth year at Provo High. I teach Arabic and American Sign Language. I am also a professional interpreter between ASL and English for three and a half years. I love learning and speaking languages. Besides Arabic and ASL, I can speak Mandarin and have dabbled with several other languages such as Japanese, Spanish, and Hebrew. I have a masters degree in International Law and World Order from the University of Reading in Britain and thoroughly enjoy learning new things about people and places. I am excited to get started on this adventure with you.
My favorite cartoon character is Jane from the Disney movie Tarzan because she loves learning new things, adventures, and teaching a new language (to Tarzan). When you get to class, take a look around to see if you can find my monkeys. (Remember, they are the ones who stole my boots in the movie.)
