Candice Guerbeau is a Ph.D. candidate in LCAL's Applied Linguistics & Second Language Acquisition (ALSLA) doctoral program at Carnegie Mellon University.

Before moving, she earned a B.A. in Political and Social Sciences and a M.A. in Communication at Sciences Po Lille, as well as another M.A. in Sociology at the University of Lille.
