Profile
I have experience in test development, teaching, and teacher training.
I have worked with a range of testing organizations, including the British Council, ETS,
and Cambridge English, and with language tests such as IELTS, TOEFL iBT, OET, KTE, Linguaskill,
CNaVT, and DELNA/DELTA. I have also worked at the Language Testing Research Centre at the
University of Melbourne. I am currently completing my PhD at Radboud University, where my research
focuses on the validation of a post-entry language assessment in a bilingual university context.
Alongside my research, I enjoy teaching and contributing to the wider language testing field,
including through my role as ILTA Webinar Coordinator and conference organization.
