Personal profile
About
I collaborate with students, faculty, and staff to enhance the learning, teaching, and research of languages and cultures through technology. In the classroom, I specialize in supporting heritage speakers of languages other than English to maintain and expand their language proficiency.
Before joining CSUMB, I served as a Language Center Administrative and Research Fellow, a Graduate Teaching Assistant in Swedish, and a Swedish instructor for Minneapolis Community Education. I taught English in Japan at various levels for three years.
Doctorate in Educational Leadership with a research focus on intercultural competence, experiential learning, and student engagement through reflection in digital storytelling. M.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
