Studying the building blocks of reading and math in young children.

Applied Cognitive Scientist in Québec, Canada

I’m an applied cognitive scientist studying how children learn to read and spell, and how they develop early mathematical reasoning—and how instruction shapes both. I work in schools, collaborate with educators, and try to make sure research findings are actually usable in classrooms.
