I’m a linguist fascinated by languages in general, as well as how gestures are used alongside them. As a Deaf multilingual researcher, I am proficient in British Sign Language (BSL), langue des signes québécoise (LSQ), American Sign Language (ASL), English, and French.

My research primarily focuses on narrative perspectives as a form of multimodality in both signed and spoken languages. Specifically, I examine the use of enactments, where individuals use their bodies to represent others in discourse. My doctoral dissertation centres on exploring the morphological and pragmatic functions of mouth actions within and outside enactments in LSQ.

Currently, I am an Associate Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Manitoba, funded by Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et Culture (FRQSC). My postdoctoral research project examines the use of narrative perspectives in signed interpretation by both deaf and hearing ASL/English interpreters.
