Hi! I know there are many amazing newsletters out there so thank you for reading this one. Motherlingual is about language, mothering, multilingualism and raising multilingual children and most often, the intersection of all of the above.

About Me

I am an award-winning writer, editor, linguist and the author of a forthcoming book on language, motherhood and multilingualism from Footnote Press. My writing has appeared in Financial Times, Vogue, ELLE, The Globe and Mail, Literary Hub and many more publications. My article on raising multilingual children won a National Magazine Award and was included in “The Best Canadian Magazine Articles” anthology. 
 
I am currently a PhD researcher in applied linguistics with a focus on multilingualism and motherhood. In addition to writing and researching, I consult on multilingualism, family language policy and recently worked on a branding project for a beauty company, acquiring the title of “notable linguist,” courtesy of Vogue.

You can see more of my work and research here.
