My family and I are immigrants from Roma, Italia, and I have enjoyed being raised in America. I enjoy working as a teacher educator focusing on teaching and research concerning second language teaching and learning, sociocultural theory, gesture and language, critical and transformative educational issues. I am pleased to promote the equitable access and support of minority language students.
