Introduction
I am originally from Nova Scotia, Canada, but have lived and taught all over the world, most recently in Argentina and the UAE. I have been an instructor for 20 years, working in both professional and higher education. My experience centers around developing disciplinary competencies in learners speaking an additional language. I have taught at Zayed University since 2012.
