Celine is pictured at left in France in May 2016 with husband, Franck, and their two children.

Celine set the benchmark for persistence and adaptability when she taught in the US in a upper New York State school district with some of the highest benchmarks in the nation.  She designed the curriculum for the High School French Literature course. Her personal qualities evoked admiration from colleagues, students, and supervisors alike.  A French native, she is also fluent in Spanish.
