In 1994 she emigrated to California and married. In Los Angeles she continued in the fashion industry, including working for Liz Claiborne. She took time off to raise her daughter and earned a B.A. in French and her teaching credential from California State University Long Beach.

Mrs. Van Zeebroeck credits some of her language teachers as being her role models and has been a mentor and role model to her students. This is Ms. Van Zeebroeck's seventh year teaching all French levels at LACHSA.
