Biography
I hold a PhD in Second Language Studies from Michigan State University (USA), two M.A degrees in Applied Linguistics and French as a Foreign Language from the Universty of Grenoble (France) and a B.A in English from the University of Tours (France). Before joining the ANU in 2016, I was Assistant Professor of French Linguistics at Rochester Institute of Technology (New York), and taught Second Language Acquisition, Methodology of Teaching Languages, and French at Michigan State University. In addition to French and English, I speak German and I am a heritage learner of Turkish.
At the ANU, I am the Convenor of the French program. I convene and teach Advanced French (FREN3010/6010 and FREN3011/6011) and The Sounds of French: Phonetics and Pronunciation (FREN3565/6515), in addition to teaching special advanced courses such as The French Language in Space and Time (FREN2021). I am the Second Language Acquisition stream leader in the Speech and Language Lab. I also served as the Higher Degree by Research (HDR) Convenor for Linguistics and Languages (2017-2019).
I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a mentor in the CASS-CAP Teaching Mentoring Program. I am the recipient of a ANU Vice-Chancellor's Citation for Outstanding Contribution to Student Learning (2019) and a national Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) Citations for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning (2019).
