Her most recent project is the International Student Experience seed-grant-funded Multilingual German Lab which is designed to provide targeted support for multilingual students of German. She is currently the co-lead of the Global Languages Initiative, which encompasses stakeholders from nine departments and five centres and programs at the Faculty of Arts & Science.
