金沢大学未来創成教育環/国際基幹教育院外国語教育系 講師。筑波大学第二学群比較文化学類卒業。東京大学大学院総合文化研究科言語情報科学専攻博士課程単位取得満期退学。博士（学術）（東京大学）。

大学卒業後、英語を使って仕事をしたいと思いながら彷徨い、同時通訳の勉強をしたり、機械メーカーで社内翻訳をしていました。その後、一念発起して、大学院（修士課程・博士課程）に入り、博士号（学術）を取得しました。いろんな人との出会いや本との出会いを経て、応用言語学（質的な社会言語学）に足を踏み入れることになりました。

専門学校や大学にて小論文執筆、アカデミックライティング、英語教育に携わってきました。大学院在籍時からライティングセンターに関わる活動もしています。

I am an Associate Professor (Kōshi) at Kanazawa University. I received my BA in Comparative Literature from the University of Tsukuba and completed the doctoral coursework in Language and Information Sciences at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the University of Tokyo. 

After completing my undergraduate studies, I explored various career paths that allowed me to work in English, including training in simultaneous interpretation and working as an in-house translator at a manufacturing company. I later decided to pursue graduate studies at the master’s and doctoral levels, which ultimately led to my doctoral degree. Through encounters with many people and scholarly works, my research interests gradually developed toward applied linguistics, particularly qualitative sociolinguistic approaches.

I have taught academic writing and English language courses at vocational schools and universities. Since my time as a graduate student, I have also been actively involved in writing center–related initiatives, supporting students’ learning processes.
