Research

I am interested in language education, academic writing, and curriculum design in post-secondary settings. My work focuses on helping students develop confidence in their academic and professional communication, particularly in multilingual classrooms. I enjoy creating practical, engaging courses that connect ideas to real-world use. I am especially interested in how clear guidance, constructive feedback, and supportive learning environments help students grow. After many years in higher education, I remain curious about new approaches that make learning more accessible, meaningful, and engaging for students.
