I am thrilled to note that as of November 2023 I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics and Languages at McMaster University.
Previously, I was a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Connecticut in the Cognitive Neuroscience of Communication-CT training program, working with Jim Magnuson and Emily Myers. My background is in psycho- and neurolinguistics. In July 2020, I completed my PhD in Linguistics at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I was advised by Colin Phillips and Ellen Lau. I was also actively involved with UMD’s Language Science Center as an NRT fellow. My dissertation can be accessed here.
Before starting my PhD, I spent two years as a research assistant and lab manager for Alec Marantz in the Neuroscience of Language Lab at NYU (specifically, in the MorphLab).
My undergraduate degree was in Linguistics, from Yale in 2013. There I worked primarily with Raffaella Zanuttini on the Yale Grammatical Diversity Project. I also wrote a senior thesis, supervised by Maria Piñango and Bob Frank, on syntactic error processing in bilingual speakers. I started out at Yale with intentions of double-majoring in Classics and Chemistry, but it only took a day in Raffaella’s Syntax class to convince me that Linguistics was the way to go.
I spent one of my undergraduate summers working in Ioulia Kovelman‘s Language and Literacy Lab at the University of Michigan, and another working with Lars Meyer at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, Germany.
