Coming soon.

I was raised in Southern Germany (Black Forest), where I received a degree in Business Management. Steps of my professional career in Germany included positions as an Executive Assistant and Marketing Coordinator before I came to the US in August 2009. I joined the Dallas Goethe Center in January 2018. I also support the German Community by working as an Assistant to the Honorary Consul of Germany in Dallas. At DGC my focus is the coordination of programs, managing the communication, and I am your day-to-day contact.

I am an Associate Professor of German and director of the German program at the University of Dallas.  I have degrees from the Catholic University of Eichstätt in Bavaria and the University of Texas at Austin.  I have published articles on Goethe, Rilke, Wagner, Nietzsche, and German Film.  I have been with the DGC for over ten years.

I am an Associate Professor of German -Department of World Languages, Literatures, & Cultures at the University of North Texas. I received a Ph.D. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and I specialize in disaster narratives in modern German literature, memory studies, and aesthetic theory. Together with Dr. Ivan Eidt, I co-edited the Festschrift Goethe’s «Bildung»: Dialog Between Tradition and Innovation which collects the scholarly articles presented at the Goethe Symposium that was organized by the DGC in April, 2016.

I first developed an interest in German language and culture while studying abroad in Vienna, Austria. Now, I am continuing my education through the DGC language and cultural programs. I recently graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas, and I hope to attend law school in the future.

I first began to learn German as a sophomore in college, and I was hooked from that point on.  Over the years I dove deeper into the language and culture including travel to Germany, participating in collegiate German drama productions, and as an exchange student at the Ruhr Universität in Bochum.

I was born and raised in the Sauerland region in Germany and moved to Dallas, TX in 1999. I earned my MBA in Marketing from the University of Dallas Graduate School of Management in 2003. As a seasoned Global Marketing Executive I have worked with global brands like Lufthansa, Mary Kay, Rug Doctor and Frito-Lay in areas of brand management, new product development, digital and product marketing. I am excited to serve the North Texas community by helping to shape the organization’s focus on fostering an appreciation of everything German. Art – Music – History – Language – and more.

A fourth-generation German- and Wendish- Texan I have been on the board of the German-Texan Heritage Society for several years and am also a long-time member of the TX Wendish Heritage Society. After a B.A. in history with German minor and graduate level coursework in history I received a M. Ed. in counseling and spent most of my career as a high school counselor, now semi-retired. I volunteer annually to judge the AATG research contest at the state level for HS German students and at the Southwest Collection, the archive at Texas Tech.

I was born in Germany and grew up partially in Turkey. I hold a Bachelors of Arts Degree in German Language and Literature. After moving to the US in 2007, I was lucky to find Dallas Goethe Center. I have been with Dallas Goethe Center since 2009 where I taught German to various ages before starting my German teaching career at DISD. I am very excited to resume my involvement with Dallas Goethe Center in this new role. 

I am a native of Berlin-Pankow, Germany. I moved to the DFW area in 2011 after brief stints at Lehman Brothers, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund. I obtained my undergraduate degree from the University of St. Andrews in Scotland and received a M.Phil. and D.Phil. in economics from Oxford University where I was a Rhodes Scholar.

Originally from Korea, I studied voice at Australian National University and at Curtis Institute of Music and Temple University in Philadelphia. After over a decade of professional performing career in Europe, I have been teaching at TCU since 2005 as Professor of Voice and Opera, and my research focuses on modern European vocal repertoire. I served as a Fulbright Scholar visiting professor at Vytautas Magnus University in Lithuania, culminating with the publication of “Anthology of Lithuanian Art Songs” in 2018.

I am a Professor of Philosophy at Collin College, where I teach introductory courses in philosophy, ethics, logic, philosophy of religion, and social and political philosophy. I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Dallas and a certificate in intermediate German (B1) from the Goethe Institute in Göttingen, Germany. I specialize in 19th and 20th century continental philosophy, and I am the author of Hannah Arendt and the Fragility of Human Dignity (Lexington, 2018) and A Continental Guide to Philosophy (Edinburgh University Press, 2022).

I received degrees from Louisiana Tech University (B.S. Economics) and Munich Business School (M.A. International Business) and currently work as a Mergers & Acquisitions consulting manager at Baker Tilly in Plano. Prior to moving to Texas, I worked in M&A at KPMG in Hamburg, Germany, where I also attained level C1 on the German language placement exam (DaF). I enjoy remaining connected with the German language and culture and am excited to have been able to join the Goethe Center in 2021.

Since 2016, I’ve been at Southern Methodist University, where I serve as Senior Lecturer of German and German area chair. From 2002-2016 I was Associate Professor of German at Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota. Prior to that, I received my doctorate at Washington University in St. Louis and studied abroad at the Universität Heidelberg. My teaching interests range from language and literature to business German. Along with undergraduate teaching, I actively work with high school German teachers on the Board of the AATG and as a German AP exam grader.

I was raised in Bavaria, but Wanderlust got the best of me in 1984. I lived in Greece and Israel for a while before ending up in the US. I have passion for travel, languages and different cultures. To stay connected to my roots, the language and the traditions of Germany, I am excited to be part of the Dallas Goethe Center Board. 

I grew up in the Northwest suburbs of Houston where the culture of the area’s German settlers is still celebrated. I received my undergraduate degree in German from University of Dallas and studied abroad in Kiel and Reykjavīk. I work as a Data Analytics Manager and spend my free time training and competing in historical fencing, Medieval Armored Combat, and Scottish Highland Games.

I am a business professional with a focus in sales & market development. My first trip to Germany in 2004 inspired me to dig deep into German language and culture, subsequently I studied abroad in 2010 in Gießen & Munich while completing my Bachelor’s Degree in Germanistik from Kansas State University. I received my MBA from Nankai University in Tianjin, China, but my love for German music, cinema, and literature has not faded. I look forward to sharing those appreciations while working with other members to create a community and membership where those with interest in everything German feel right at home here in Dallas Fort-Worth.
Kölle Alaaf!

I have been with DGC since 2014. I taught ESL for Richardson ISD, and currently teach ESL for Texas Refugee Services. I have a Master’s Degree from Indiana University and I speak German, English, Italian and French. I am a retired opera soloist and university teacher, and I have a bookstore on Ebay.

I am originally from Hamburg, a beautiful port City in the North of Germany. I am passionate about languages and their importance for intercultural understanding. My goal is to teach German in a way that is motivating and fun for learners. I enjoy passing on my knowledge of the German language and culture just as much as I enjoy learning about the languages and cultures of my students.

I was born in Georgia/Tbilisi. As a student, I first moved to Germany and later to Austria to study German linguistics and German as a second language. I have a Master’s degree and since 2014 I have been teaching at the DGC. I am also a lecturer of German at the University of Texas at Arlington. The two things that I miss the most about Germany are German bakeries, and hiking in the forest.

I grew up in Vienna and Lower Austria. I graduated with a bilingual International Baccalaureate and Austrian Matura equivalency. I earned BAs in Linguistics, Critical Languages & International Studies: German, and the Certificate in Translation & Localization from the University of Texas at Arlington. I work as a freelance translator, conference interpreter and teach German at the University of Texas at Arlington.
