Many of you already know me as I was the GAS Program Coordinator from 2015-2019. But for those of you who don’t (or may not know me well) here is a bit about me, your new IS Research Coordinator.
Education: After a double BA in Psychology and French (University of Windsor), I completed my MA and PhD in Cognitive Psychology at Wayne State University (Detroit, MI). My focus was in Psycholinguistics (bilingual language representation and processing ambiguous English words), and I also earned doctoral minors in Linguistics and Quantitative Methods (aka stats). Commuting from Windsor for 7 years led to many cross-border adventures, which I will happily share, just not in this newsletter.
Research: I have been publishing research since 2008 and have many types of publications under my belt, from the traditional, data-driven research articles, to “fun” pieces about teaching. I am not shy about sharing my publications, so if you’re interested, just ask and I will send you a list (comprehensive or recent- you choose!) I can also send you any of my published articles that may interest you.
Personal: I am originally from Lakeshore (near Windsor, Ontario) and currently live in Kawartha Lakes. My first language is French, though I learned English in grade 3 and consider myself to have native-like proficiency in English. I have been married for 14 years and we have 2 kids (6-year-old Adam and 1 year-old Emelia, so I am just returning from my maternity leave). We also have 2 kittens.
My new role as Research Coordinator: Dave Smith was IS’s first ever Research Coordinator and I think he did an excellent job bringing attention to the role and the possibility of conducting research in IS. I would like to build on what Dave has accomplished by supporting IS faculty in their desire to pursue research. Over the course of this semester, I will be sharing some research/publication tips and strategies with you, and also asking for your feedback about what you’d like me to work on to support you in research.
If you have any suggestions for things you’d like to see from me, please reach out to me via email.
