Born and raised in Winnipeg, I have been interested in language, particularly French, from a young age. I hold a BA (University of Manitoba) in French, an MA (Queen鈥檚 University) in French linguistics, and a PhD (McGill University) in Linguistics. I am also a musician (ARCT, Premier prix 鈥� Conservatoire de Paris) and, on occasion, teach a course on music & language.
