Bio
I am a scholar and teacher educator. My scholarly work is driven by the values of social justice and grounded in understanding power, identity, and inclusivity in linguistically and culturally diverse schools. I position myself within the critical and constructivist paradigms by advocating for emergent bilinguals. Some of my research interests include fairness, justice, and equity in language testing, test-taker perspectives on assessment practices, and language learner identity.
