Fun Facts
  1. I love spending time outdoors– hiking, gardening, and chasing my very active toddler
  2. I worked as an English teacher in Santa Maria de Fe, Paraguay from 2016-7 and have returned twice to visit and conduct qualitative research
  3. If I had chosen a different career path, I’d love to be a linguist with an emphasis in bilingualism and indigenous language preservation
