Former HS Spanish teacher, current SLA PhD candidate at UW Madison. Interested in language identity and ideologies in the classroom. When not chasing my kid, find me reading fantasy or stress baking.
I didint anticipate our session to be standing room only, but I’m delighted by the turnout and excited we got folks thinking about switching our mentality from world language teachers to bilingual educators #ACTFL2024

In Texas, in a session about language at the border lands. It’s awesome.

I believe the work I do is important. But then I see titles referencing gaming memes and wonder if maybe I should have explored more of my unhinged and fun linguistic ideas 😂

Maybe I’ll get tenure and do my hand clapping games study or my bathroom graffiti study lol

A metaphor for the end of what was supposed to be a much more straightforward semester than it has been.

And also community orchestra has been one of the things helping me keep it together. Work life balance and all that.

Pulla! Shaped into lil swirlies because it’s more fun than a plain bun. Also did a braided pulla pitkä but it’s too dark and I got reminded why I always use parchment paper instead of buttering the pan. This is one of THE Finnish bakes.
