Mentorship Activities
Mentorship is privilege that is very close to my heart and I encourage all students to come and speak with me about their academic interests. Whether you’re considering a French major or minor or you’re interested in our graduate program, I invite you to reach out and discuss any questions you may have. I have mentored dozens of Graduate Teaching Assistants and Interns in initiative, innovation and investment. I have also collaborated (with language instructors, graduate students, and interns) on research projects on FSL teaching and FSL teacher education, equity, career readiness, unconventional approaches and use of new technologies in the FSL classroom.
If you’re interested in pursuing a Master’s or PhD, send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
