Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in Linguistics at UC Berkeley. 

My primary research interests are in indigenous and marginalized language revitalization, phonetics, and phonology. I focus on the relationship between laryngeal features and segmental length in different languages, particularly Yanesha' (Arawak), Barese (Upper Southern Italian Language Group), and Maranese / Calabrese (Extreme Southern Italian Language Group).   

I respectfully acknowledge that I study and teach on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe.
