About me

I work as a Lehrkraft für besondere Aufgaben and teach seminars covering structural aspects of English (e.g. Phonetics / Phonology, Syntax), specialised fields (e.g. English in the Gulf, Russian English, Sociophonetics) and practice-oriented courses (e.g. Statistics and Python for Linguists, Academic Writing).

Drawing on my background in English linguistics and TESOL, I aim to help students develop analytical, methodological and professional competences both for conducting research and for applying linguistic knowledge in practical and educational contexts. 

In addition to my teaching and research activities, I serve as Mittelbauvertreter des Instituts für Anglistik und Amerikanistik and organize the annual conference Advancing Research in English Linguistics (ARiEL).

Office hours

By appointment (please contact me via email).
