PROFILE
SHORT BIOGRAPHY
As a Linguistics major, I am comfortable collecting and analysing language-based data to find patterns. My research involved analysing language contacts and is shifting from language assessment policies and practices towards more specific assessment issues. I understand equity research and have the necessary analytical, mathematical, and technical skills to apply it.
