I’m a full-time lecturer at Kyushu Sangyo University with a Masters in linguistics, and I've been in the language and linguistics field for close to 20 years —teaching in it since 2005. I’ve taught at universities in Jamaica, at a high school in France, and at every level in Japan, from kindergarten to university, in addition to professionals and retirees. I have a special love for and enjoyment of public speaking and presentation design, and in the classroom, I use presentation software in fun and innovative ways. I've presented a lot on my work and interests, including as an invited speaker at universities and conferences in Japan and Korea. My interests include public speaking, effective presentation design, CALL, Jamaican creole, and -more recently- neurodiversity and learning challenges.
