Bonjour!

Je m'appelle Madame Bourgeois. I have been teaching French for 30 years and I love it! I received my bachelor's degree from MSU and I also studied at L'Institut de Touraine in Tours, France. I received my master’s degree from Saginaw Valley State University and an English degree from Oakland University. Besides teaching, my interests are reading, music, traveling, playing sports, and spending time with my family. I have 2 daughters that just graduated from MSU and a son who graduated from UofM in 2021. I also have a golden doodle named Parker. I am looking forward to a great year!

If you need to get in touch with me, please don't hesitate to call or email.
