I am a doctoral candidate in the Second Language Studies program at Michigan State University. I study language learner and teacher identity development using qualitative approaches, including narrative inquiry, discourse analysis, and autoethnography.
At MSU, I am co-editor of the journal Working Papers in Second Language Studies, Mentorship Coordinator for the Student Organization of Second Language Acquisition and Pedagogy, and a Qualitative Research Consultant with the Multilingual Lab.
Outside of MSU, I have worked as editorial assistant for the journal TESOL Quarterly and as the graduate student representative for ACTFL's Research special interest group.
Before joining MSU’s PhD program, I worked for a number of years as a university lecturer, teaching undergraduate courses in Linguistics, TESOL, Spanish and ESL, and as a community language instructor, developing and teaching ESL classes in various community organizations throughout Philadelphia, PA.
I earned my M.S.Ed. in TESOL at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, and I earned my B.A. in Spanish with minors in Linguistics, TESOL, Sociology, Latin American Studies and Faith-Justice Studies at Saint Joseph's University.
