BIO

When talking with colleagues or prospective colleagues, I joke that CMU was my first job and will be my last. I guess that either means that I’m lazy or that I’m happy to be doing this work; I’m going to go with happy.

I joined the Department of Modern Languages in 1993 as a Lecturer in French. Given the years and title changes, I am now a Full Teaching Professor in French & Francophone Studies. This change over time exemplifies what working in ML (Modern Languages) encourages: that we be effective, efficient, and creative in our teaching and our research. This freedom, constructive but not prescriptive, has allowed me to develop a career uniquely my own.
