Biography

Meet the Instructor....

When I was a freshman…

I was the first in my family to attend college and did so on a different continent! My freshman year was overwhelming, as I moved from my small Czech hometown of Valašské Meziříčí to the United States. I struggled with the English language and adapting to a completely different way of life, but I was also thrilled by the American college experience. Coming from an educational system focused on memorizing dictated facts, I found it incredibly refreshing to participate in seminars and think critically about subjects I cared about.

Last Concert I attended... 

I attend concerts all the time—I absolutely love live music, especially classical performances. For me, concerts are not just a passion but also part of my work.
