My name is Erika Heger-Dorantes and I am a 4th year education student with a major in French and a minor in Religious Studies and Moral Education. I have a passion for language learning and hope to teach second languages as a future teacher. If I can inspire even just one student to be as interested in languages as I am, I will consider myself successful.

Other Interests
- Religion and Moral Education. I am very interested in learning about world Religions as I find it is a huge component of culture and can help to understand many individuals.
