My interest in multilingual writing studies evolved through my background in education, language, and literacy (EdD from Northeastern University Graduate School of Education; EdM from Harvard University Graduate School of Education). I have practiced in a variety of educational settings: higher education, ESOL/adult ed, college transition programs, and healthcare and hospital workforce development programs. I currently teach in the Northeastern University Writing Program. I teach a First-Year Writing seminar using an Immigrant Voices theme and an Advanced Writing in the Disciplines seminar using a First-Generation College Student and Educational Equity theme. My research interests involve academic reading and writing development among multilingual, academically underserved, immigrant, and first-generation college and college-bound students.
