Brienne Boesiger and Family

Welcome to ELA 018! I am excited to have you in class. I have been teaching at Skagit Valley College for 15 years. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies from Willamette University and a Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) Certificate from Western Washington University. I love teaching English Language Acquisition (ELA)! I have lived in Washington, Oregon, New Mexico, Mexico, Sweden, and on a boat. I have also traveled around Western Europe, Central America, and South America. I love learning about other cultures, traditions, and languages.

My husband and our two children, dog, and cat live in Bellingham. I enjoy spending time in the great outdoors at the beach, in the mountains, or gardening in our backyard. In the winter, my family and I like to go snowboarding at Mt. Baker. The above picture of my family was recently taken on a snowy day along Canyon Creek near Glacier, Washington.
