She has also been a member of the Advisory Board for Teach in Ontario, a bridging program for internationally educated teachers in Ontario. She has received numbers of internal and external grants including those from SSHRC, Canadian Heritage, and TESOL International Research Foundation.

One example is a research project entitled “Closing the Gap: Exploring Strategies to Build Positive Relationships between Parents from Low-voice Immigrant Communities and Teachers of these Communities,” funded by Canadian Heritage. Another project entitled “The Impact of Infusing ESL Issues and Teaching Strategies in Pre-service Teacher Education Programs” examined how pre-service teacher education programs can prepare teachers for the ever-increasing multilingual and diverse student population in schools in North America.
