Teaching style
Research-informed, culturally responsive, and literature-based. I use bilingual picture books as scaffolds for both language development and emotional literacy, with practical strategies families and educators can implement immediately.

Additional biographical information
I live in Amsterdam with my husband and daughter, raising our child in a multilingual environment (Russian, English, Dutch, Estonian). This personal journey through multilingual parenting deeply informs my work. I'm passionate about the intersection of AI and bilingual education, and the urgent need to support heritage language preservation. Research shows 80% of families lose their heritage language by the third generation, and I create resources to help families break that cycle. My work translates complex bilingual education research into accessible, practical tools that honor both languages and cultural identities.
