I have been lucky enough to teach at the University of Arizona (Tucson, USA), Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Erlangen, Germany) and now at Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona, Spain). I have teaching experience in areas such as Spanish as a foreign language, Spanish linguistics, English linguistics, cognitive linguistics, English grammar, phonetics and phonology, and first and second language acquisition. I am also currently involved in supervising four doctoral projects at Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg.
