About Me
I began my career as an high school English Language Arts Teacher. I hold a Master's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language and a PhD in Secondary Education focusing on writing assessment.
I am passionate about cultivating excellence in the teaching and assessment of writing at all levels of education.
My research focuses on principled assessment design; ethics, justice, fairness, and validity in writing assessment; and the development of writing ability across the life span.
