Research Interests: Her work centers on the translation of non-standard language, particularly urban youth speech, creole, and gender-inclusive forms. She explores how sociolinguistic variation, cultural references, and multimodal elements (such as music and audiovisual media) are rendered across languages. Her research also addresses pedagogical approaches to teaching sensitive topics like non-binary language and marginalized voices in translation.

Publications Trends: Her recent scholarly output spans book chapters, journal articles, and conference papers, with a strong focus on the intersection of translation, identity, and cultural representation. Key themes include the translation of slang, creole, rap, and inclusive language, often analyzing contemporary French and Anglophone literature and media.

Scientific Awards:

• 2021 Gulf Coast Prize in Translation (for an excerpt from Sofia Aouine's Rhapsodie des oubliés)

Advising and Grants: While no specific students or grants are listed, she actively mentors through her teaching and co-supervises collaborative translation projects. She has co-edited a volume on teaching translation in Francophone contexts and leads experimental bilingual writing workshops that integrate translation and creative writing.
