I serve as an associate professor of English and Applied Linguistics at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. I am a sociolinguist specializing in acoustic phonetics and language variation. Incorporating research and service learning into my pedagogical practices I treasure every moment spent in the classroom. I also direct Tidewater Voices, a community language and oral history project, which allows the people of the Tidewater region to tell their own stories, in their own words and language.
