Previously, I was an Evaluation Specialist at the Language Testing Unit of the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), US Department of State. My main research interests include: foreign, second, and heritage language test design, test use validation, and research design and methods. I received my Ph.D. in linguistics from Georgetown University in 2018.
