About Me
I am a Multilingual Writing Specialist & Assistant Professor of Writing at Colby College.
Faculty Development
I seek ways to help students make meaningful connections between their multilingual and translingual knowledge of the world and the various academic discourses that they encounter in their studies. I encourage students to view themselves as designers of meaning and develop an ecological perspective towards cultures, languages, forms, and modalities.
Teaching
I work closely with writing teachers and faculty across disciplines to enhance their multilingual pedagogies. I design workshops focused on curriculum design, assignments, classroom activities, and assessments to foster faculty’s ongoing professional development and promote effective multilingual teaching practices.
Research
My current work focuses on multilingual writing, (post)digital literacy, and technology enhanced language learning through the intersecting perspectives of applied linguistics, literacy studies, and educational technologies.
