Chareena Quirante graduated cum laude with a degree in BA English Studies major in Language from the University of the Philippines-Diliman in 2010. Migrating to Canada's capital, she was then licensed to teach under the Teachers of English as a Second/Foreign Language (TESL) program in Algonquin College, where she also graduated with honours.
After taking an interest in indigenous research, she completed an MA in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies at Carleton University, where her thesis passed with distinction. Currently, she is taking her PhD in Applied Linguistics and Discourse Studies as a scholar in the same institution. She has taught multiple skills in various levels of language classes among international students, diplomats, and immigrants at the Algonquin College Language Institute, as well as at the University of Ottawa's Official Languages and Bilingualism Institute. She also works as a technologist at the Algonquin College Multimedia Language Centre. Her research work includes improving the writing practices of second language learners and until recently, preserving heritage languages in the context of migration. On other days, Chareena is an active youth leader, clumsy longboarder, and striving poet on her creative blog. |
