Teaching and Research Fields
My research interests fall under the umbrella of internationalization, intercultural competence and motivation. While growing up on the east coast of Canada, I became interested in traveling abroad and experiencing new cultures. This curiosity led me to teaching positions in South Korea, Taiwan and now Japan. Based on my experiences working in East Asia and traveling around the world, I hope to identify motivational factors amongst students that might foster an interest in international issues, cross-cultural communication and study abroad.
