My Publications
Presentations and Editing Experience
I really enjoyed writing about language learning several years ago, and nothing was more exciting than having an article published in a journal. While I have not remained active writing, I sometimes dream about writing a book about the experiences of newcomers to Canada. Maybe someday I will get around to it!
