Say a few words about yourself
Bonjour, I am Irish, my husband is French, my 2 girls are bilingual (aged 2 and 4 years) and we live in Melbourne, Australia. I'm loving our family's bilingual journey although it is challenging at times!
I have been shaped by many things...I am a scientist, an educator and a patent examiner. I have a keen interest in language acquisition and bilingualism in children. I am currently embarking on an entrepreneurial route, starting a company, Love Your Lingo, with a mission to inspire little linguists to love their languages.
I hold a PhD in Chemistry which led me indirectly to the discovery of 'Problem-Based Learning' (PBL), a learning method which guides you to become a life-long learner by allowing you figure things out for yourself. This principle is central to how Love Your Lingo products will function.
I have spent the last 5 years surrounded by other people's ideas in my work as a patent examiner, and so, I thought it was about time I did something about my own. Wish me luck!
