My name is Louisa Haertel and I am the German Foreign Language Assistant for the academic year 2011/12. I am from Hamburg, but I study English and Spanish at the University of Bamberg. After my graduation from High School in 2008, I spent one year in Costa Rica where I taught English and where I discovered my passion for teaching and for Spanish. I am looking foreward to learning about American culture and teaching Holy Cross students my culture and my language.
