Who I Am

My interests include sociolinguistics (patterns of language use, language revitalization) and language learning, data evaluation - understanding and explaining phenomena through quantitative and qualitative data, and cultural and educational programming for youth.

As someone who has worked in various youth program formats over the past decade, I have experience in program design and implementation, grant writing and grant budgeting, activity design and redesign, and direct work with youth. My interest in youth programs is related to my own experience of learning outside of the school environment and observing the importance of having supplementary programs/activities to help students grow and reach their own goals.

In addition, I have evaluated quantitative data on indigenous language use in Ireland and am familiar with language planning and secondary language learning.
