I explore the intersections of language, mind, and technology. My current work focuses on teacher agency, sociocultural (Vygotskian) theory, and the role of generative AI in TESOL and higher education. Publications include outlets such as Language Teaching Research, System, International Journal of Human–Computer Interaction, and Language Learning & Technology.
