I'm originally from St. Louis, MO. I did my Bachelor's degree at Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) majoring in Linguistics with minors in Arabic and Islamic Studies and Spanish and Latin American Studies. Currently, I live in DC and am in the fourth year of my PhD at Georgetown University. I'm a huge foody and love discovering new restaurants in DC (and elsewhere) and trying new cuisines from all over the world. I also am an avid movie watcher. When school is not in session, I love to travel. I have been all over the world, including spending multiple months living in Scotland and Morocco to study abroad. Lastly, I have a very rambunctious little kitten (Cheeto) who loves to play and meet new friends (people and other cats alike). Feel free to reach out and talk with me about anything linguistics-related, about Georgetown or WashU, or just about anything else!
