About
Originally from the United States, I have long been interested in multilingualism and language acquisition. Between this interest and my love of travel, I have studied, lived, and worked in a variety of places, including France, Hungary, and Norway, where I am now based. I completed my Ph.D. in Educational Studies at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in 2024, and in addition to my research I have also taught English as an additional language at the university level in the United States and Hungary and at the primary school level in Norway.
