Online Special Expertise
I began my teaching journey in 2004 in South Korea. Since then, I've had the privilege of teaching English and training teachers in numerous countries, including Taiwan, the Philippines, China (Macau), Thailand, Honduras, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Mexico. I have a master's degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and a PhD in Composition and Applied Linguistics.
Being a language learner myself and a first-generation college student, I have a special connection with multilingual students who are the first in their families to pursue higher education. I love helping students navigate college and learn about the opportunities available to them.
When I'm not working, I love to travel. I've visited over 40 countries and have many more on my bucket list!
My research focuses on the intersection of transnationality, linguistic identity, and educational equity. I am also interested in learning, teaching, and assessment of additional languages within diverse educational and sociocultural contexts.
