Short description
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Teacher Education and Pedagogy. In this position, I research, teach, and supervise graduate student research. Part of my postdoctoral research agenda focuses on the links between cultural and linguistic diversity in education and language teacher experiences. I earned my PhD and Master of Education from York University in Toronto and a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Linguistics from Saint Mary's University in Halifax, Canada. Prior to joining INN, I was an instructor of academic and professional communications skills in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Sheridan College in Oakville, Canada. My research interests are broad, but have more recently included language teacher education and identity development, (critical) second language education, internationalisation of higher education, and identity in multilingual/multicultural contexts. More information can be found on my website.
