Bio
I am a bilingual educator-scholar with over three decades of experience in higher education in France and the United States. Specializing in instructed second language acquisition, multilingualism, intercultural development, and language pedagogy, I develop innovative curricular initiatives that connect language learning, cultural analysis, and community engagement. My scholarship examines language learning from cognitive and sociocultural perspectives, with current research exploring language-based learning disabilities, neurodiverse authorship, and French writing culture. Throughout my career, I have led international education programs, interdisciplinary collaborations, and institutional initiatives that promote linguistic diversity and global citizenship.
