No shame and no judgement (yep, even if you’re really really inconsistent or haven’t even started yet) — just a ton of support backed by science.
Helping make bilingualism work for you and yours.
Raising a bilingual child can be a lonely road full of questions and even more questionable advice.
I’m ready to support you and your family—with my full attention, lack of judgement, and tons of validation.
Oh yeah…and with 8 years of university study in linguistics, 3 years of doing academic research with bilingual & multilingual kids, and the experience of working with hundreds of multilingual families around the world.
But it doesn't have to be that way.
Let's get to work

So…if you’re looking for them — I’m not going to be much help for you.
But if you’re ready to learn about bilingual development and your family’s unique circumstances, so you can optimize the things in your control and release the pressure of trying to control the uncontrollable, then I’m your girl.
to help you deeply understand your bilingualism.
My goal is is simple.
Prior to starting Bringing up Bilinguals, I was a linguist who specialized in early-childhood bilingualism.
My goal is to help you avoid the endless googling (no seriously, put down the phone!), obsessing, and doubting that comes with raising a bilingual child.
I know that every family is completely unique in both their environment and their goals and that YOU are the expert on your family. When we work together, we combine my professional experience and your expertise on your child and family to approach bilingualism in a way that feels good and works for you.
Hey! I’m Kat — Early-Childhood Bilingualism Expert, Family Bilingualism Consultant, M.A. Linguistics, and the founder of Bringing up Bilinguals.
