About me

Crab-catching in coastal Guyanese mangroves


Born and raised in Williamstown, Massachusetts, my interest in linguistics began with a passion for foreign languages and a fascination with multilingualism. At Vassar College, I earned my BA in Italian and French, where I became increasingly interested in the characteristics that differentiate and unite languages. I began my Linguistics PhD studies at UC Berkeley in 2019, and earned my MA in Linguistics in Fall 2021.


In my free time, I enjoy traveling, playing music (violin, piano, ukulele, or vocal chords), and spending time outdoors.
