My research program is dual-focused in linguistic theory and endangered language documentation. My main theoretical interests include examining the nature of the phonology-syntax interface and asking how phonological domains are mapped from morpho-syntactic structure. I am currently developing a new model of interface mapping called Tri-P Mapping.
I specialize in analysis of the structures of "polysynthetic languages," particularly Kiowa and Saulteaux Ojibwe. In addition to my fieldwork in those communities, I co-lead the Kiowa Dictionary Project, a major multi-site community-university partnership, with Dr. Amber A. Neely (Kansas State University).

I have left academia! If you're interested in my content creation life, check out Chaotic Curious! Coming soon to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram!
I have a chapter entitled "Constituency of Kiowa" and a commentary chapter on phonological diagnostics that will be part of a forthcoming volume Constituency and Convergence in the Americas.
