Greetings!

Welcome to my personal page. I am an associate professor of Spanish in the department of Modern Languages at Kansas State University. Previously, I worked as a lecturer in the Spanish and Portuguese department at Princeton University, as a visiting lecturer at la Universidad de Oviedo in Spain, and as an instructor at UMass Amherst and Westfield State University. I hold a PhD in Hispanic Linguistics with a specialization in Second Language Acquisition and a certificate of Cognitive Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where I also obtained my MA. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages and International Affairs from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington.

My academic interests include Second Language Acquisition, Ungrading pedagogy, bilingual representation and language use, morphosyntax, and language processing. I am particularly interested in analyzing grammatical development in multilingual speakers (especially in heritage and adult L2 speakers) with the objective of understanding how linguistic features are acquired and (re-)assembled. I also examine how this knowledge can be incorporated into sound pedagogical practices in the classroom and with a variety of approaches and technological tools.
