Lisa Bekemeyer has been fascinated by other languages and cultures for as long as she can remember and has been blessed to turn that passion into a career. Lisa directs an exchange program for international students, works with French interns at Normandale French Immersion and serves as an adjunct professor at Bethel University and the University of Northwestern where she teaches and advises student teachers. In all these areas, Lisa strives to share her practice of gratitude with her students, encouraging them to focus on the abundance in life. She also works to share this mindset with her two adult children, Luke and Noah, and her husband, Steve.
