I am a Departmental Scholar at UCLA in the Department of Linguistics, pursuing my MA and BA through UCLA's Departmental Scholars Program (DSP). My research interests include sign language phonology, sociolinguistics, and language documentation. My current research focuses on phonological compound reduction in American Sign Language and sociolinguistic style-shifting between American Sign Language (ASL) and Signed Exact English (SEE) in Deaf signers. 

I was the president of Bruin Linguists Society (BLing), UCLA's linguistics student organization that aims to help promote the field of linguistics and encourage undergraduate involvement in academia from 2021-2023.  As a part of BLing, I served as the chair of the Southern California Undergraduate Linguistics Conference (2022, 2023). 

I currently  serve on the Social Media  team of the UCLA Chapter of the Graduate Linguistics Circle  (GLC) and work part-time in the UCLA Linguistics Department as an Academic Peer Advisor.
