I am a Lecturer in Linguistics within the Open Foundation program, part of the Pathways and Academic Learning Support Centre at the University of Newcastle, Australia. As a linguist, I investigate how dominant English language and ideologies, as well as family and education policies, influence the cultural and linguistic practices of heritage language communities. My work focuses on heritage German-speaking communities in Australia and explores how culture, heritage, and language shape social identities and community dynamics.
