I'm a trained sociolinguist and researcher with an emphasis on examining language attitudes and perceptions. My research experience includes designing and executing sociolinguistic/ethnographic studies and the analysis and interpretation of qualitative and quantitative data. During my years in academia I was able to gain extensive experience in teaching both Spanish, German, linguistics courses. I am also a published author of individual articles and and co-edited research volumes.

In 2021 I changed gears mainly working in the field of Educational Technology creating, editing, proofreading, translating and localizing learning content for international customers for German, English, and Spanish at all learning levels, mostly based on the European framework for language learning (CEFR).  More recently I have been fortunate to work in an international UX Research project, where my responsibilities include (1) conceptualizing, conducting and analyzing usability interviews and (2) analysis of conversation quality in online discussion forums.
