I love languages, reading them, writing in them, discussing them, and helping students and anyone wanting to improve their understanding of them and/or their reading and/or writing skills to improve. I am a Medievalist, with a speciality in Old and Middle English Languages and Literatures and a broader Subject Matter Expertise in Languages and Literatures, Public Speaking, Ethics, and Research Methodology. I am also an experienced lecturer, course designer/developer (online and on-ground), researcher, writer, editor, proofreader, public speaker, and tutor.
