Profile Summary

I am a lover of linguistics, committed to understanding and optimizing the nuances of language to impact business and institutional goals. Most recently, I served as a Research Associate at the University of Manitoba, where I conducted research and co-wrote a book on Michif syntax. Previously, I served as an Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Arizona State University, leading instruction, research, and administration. With a range of roles from teaching and developing curriculum for 11 classes to also executing in-depth research projects and publications, I have proven my expertise in this multi-dimensional field. One of my biggest successes beyond all the academic accomplishments and course development was cultivating a strong collaborative relationship with my teams, students, and leaders in higher education. With 18 years of research, higher education, and consultative experience in syntax and formal semantics, I am an expert in writing, editing, and language use. Above all, I thrive in roles blending detailed linguistics review with delivering engaging presentations and recommendations. My greatest satisfaction comes from gathering tools I’ve accumulated in linguistics to apply to business development, product goals, student development, or client needs. Ultimately, I bring a passionate yet collaborative approach to my work, teams, and the causes I commit to. When I’m not digging into a linguistics course, I love knitting and yoga.
