Excellence in Teaching Award, 2024
Professional Experience
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Studies (English Linguistics, Literature, and TESOL) from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), and teaching certificates from the University of Oregon and the University of Cambridge. Prior to pursuing a doctoral degree in Linguistics, I spent a significant amount of time working in education. I taught English as foreign language in Slovakia and Brazil at language centers and high schools. I also worked as a teacher trainer for two years. In 2017-2018 I was a Fulbright Foreign Language Teaching Assistant in the Department of Romance Languages at UGA.
