I am a language learning entrepreneur and polyglot hailing from Seattle. After graduating summa cum laude from the University of Washington with a degree in Linguistics, I spent several years teaching English abroad. This experience solidified my passion for breaking down barriers to language acquisition, which ultimately led me to start DuolingoGuides.com in 2012. As the driving force behind the company, I oversee all content creation and educational initiatives. I am honored to be a sought-after speaker and influencer within the industry, with over 500k engaged followers across social media platforms. In my free time, I enjoy hiking adventures, photography, and energizing salsa dance classes. Under my leadership, DuolingoGuides.com has grown into a leading resource for language learners worldwide. I remain deeply committed to making language education more accessible and engaging for all.
