After living and working in Australia for ten years, I moved to Ireland, where I work as a lecturer at the School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Maynooth University. My research interests lie primarily in English Medium Instruction (EMI), TESOL, multilingualism and language identity. Below are the links to some of my publications and presentations. You can read more about my work on my Maynooth University page and my Orcid ID site.
