Diane is a K-12 certified foreign language teacher and writer who is passionate about early language learning.   She has shared her love of the French language with students as young as 2 and as old as 18. Most recently a high school teacher, she has also piloted preschool foreign language programs, created home-based mom-tot classes, written a fifth grade French workbook, and developed an innovative story-based middle school curriculum.  Her vast experience spans not only PK-12, but also private, parochial, and public schools.  She is a frequent speaker at state, regional, and national foreign language teacher conferences.  There is no greater compliment than to be called “a teacher’s teacher.”

Diane received her BA in French and English Language and Literature in 1990, and she has done post-graduate work in Elementary Education. She has studied in both France and Quebec and travels to these wonderful places frequently, leading student trips and exchange programs.  The Loire Valley and Quebec City have taken up permanent residency in her heart.

Besides creating innovative educational content with Catherine for Foreign Language House, Diane also writes articles, stories, poems, and crafts for children’s magazines. She has been published in Highlights for Children, Hopscotch for Girls, Faces magazine, and Wee Ones e-zine.  Several professional online articles can be found on Suite101.com, where she was formerly the feature writer for Education/Language Study.
