About me
I am Assistant Professor in French and Applied Linguistics at Texas Tech University where I am also responsible for coordination of the French basic language program including: curriculum and assessment development and teacher mentoring for first and second-year French.
My research and scholarly interests are anchored in intersections between human action and experience and cultural texts, with a particular focus on pedagogical and technological innovations in foreign language teaching and learning that call explicit attention to identities, affect, cultures, and forms of representation and communication.
I earned my doctorate in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching (SLAT) at the University of Arizona in 2015, where I specialized in teaching French as a foreign language, multiliteracies approaches to foreign language teaching, curriculum and assessment development, and integration of technology in FL teaching and learning.
