    Bonjour tout le monde!
     
    I was born and raised in Clermont-Ferrand, France, and I am thrilled to be teaching my native language! I look forward to an efficient and fun fourth year at Riverside High School.
     
    After my Baccalauréat in France, I moved to the United States to attend the University of Virginia, where I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Sociology, as well as a Master of Teaching in Secondary Education. Prior to teaching French at Riverside High School, I have worked as a preschool French immersion teacher, a High School teacher in North Carolina and Fairfax County, and as a middle school teacher at Smart's Mill Middle School.
     
    When I am not in the classroom, I love traveling, running, exercising, learning about geography, discovering new restaurants, and attending my brother's swim meets.
     
    Please, do not hesitate to stop by my classroom, or contact me via email (mvanwyns@lcps.org)
