I am a PreK-12 reading specialist with expertise in biliteracy and multilingual learners.  I have taught for 13 years across public, charter, and international schools, including Spanish and Mandarin dual immersion schools.  In the past, I coached teachers in social-emotional learning with HighScope Educational Research Foundation and facilitated school- and district-wide teacher training for writing instruction.  My previous research focused on professional learning, curricular implementation, and school leadership.  I grew up in a trilingual household (Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English).  I received my B.A. in Latin American Studies and Spanish from Wellesley College, M.Ed. in Literacy and Languages (reading specialist concentration) from Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Ed.D. in K-12 Education Leadership and Policy from Vanderbilt University's Peabody College. I am passionate about the integration of research, policy, and practice.
