The personal blog of an applied linguist, writer, & educator
I am an applied linguist, writer, and educator in Pasadena, California. I hold degrees in music and linguistics from Jacksonville University and California State University, Fullerton respectively.
I teach English for academic purposes, and I blog about linguistics, music, and education.
Other interests include languages, books, opera, Spanish guitar, and roleplaying games.
