Biography

I arrived in New Zealand in 1997 from California where I was a Spanish Immersion primary school teacher.  I worked as a research assistant and guest lecturer at the University of Otago in the Faculty of Education and the Higher Education Development Centre from 1999.  I completed my doctorate at Otago in 2004 and was appointed as a lecturer that same year. My research interests include multiliteracies, critical literacy, gender issues in education and practitioner research. I teach across the primary teacher education and education studies programmes and supervise at the postgraduate level.
