Welcome to Anderson Latin!
 
About me:
I grew up in Houston, but I moved to Austin as quickly as I could when I did my undergraduate at UT @ Austin majoring in Plan II with a focus on Classics. I did my graduate work in Classical Philology at Cornell University. This is my 13th year teaching at Anderson. 
 
Courses:
Latin 1, Latin 2, Pre-AP Latin 3, IB Latin 4, AP Latin 4, IB Latin 5, AP Latin 5, Honors Latin 6
 
Clubs, organizations, activities:
I sponsor the 70+ member Latin Club/Junior Classical League chapter.  I'm the president-elect for the Armadillo Classical Society.  We are hosting the TSJCL Area F Latin Tournament at Anderson on February 19-20 this year. We also do a historical/cultural tour of a Roman-ruled country every year. 2017: Ancient Greece, 2018: Ancient Italy, 2019: Ancient Britain, 2021: Ancient Italy/Sicily, 2022: Roman North Italy and Croatia.
