I arrived at Dickinson College in 2018 as the Associate Director of the Writing Program and multilingual writer specialist, and from July 2023 I’ve served in the role of Director of the Norman M. Eberly Multilingual Writing Center and Writing Program. My teaching experience has been broad and varied: writing center consultant, English teacher abroad, community college composition and ESL teacher, and language teacher educator. Since coming to Dickinson, I’ve found it to be a wonderfully multilingual place where students’ full linguistic repertoires are valued, and in my work as Director I am deeply committed to supporting all students in their development of writing, whether it is in English or in one of the ten world languages that our center supports. As someone who believes that teachers of writing must be writing themselves, some of my recent publications include co-editing (with Jay Goulah) the collection TESOL and Sustainability: Language Teaching into the Anthropocene (Bloomsbury, 2020), co-editing (with Noreen Lape) the special issue and digital edited collection The Post-pandemic Writing Center (2023), and contributing to the forthcoming book Intersections of Environmental and Linguistic Justice. Outside of the writing center, you may find me cooking (and eating!) some of the amazing food that I get from Dickinson College Farm CSA box.
