I am a language teacher educator and educational researcher whose work connects inclusive teaching, language policy and educational design. My research examines how language, identity, policy and institutional practice shape participation and teacher work across bilingual, EMI and international education. I translate this research into scalable teaching practice, staff development and cross-border partnerships, creating measurable impact for culturally and linguistically diverse students, teachers and teacher educators in Australia and Taiwan.
