Linguist working in usage-based constructionist approaches focused on embodiment and multimodality
I'm currently a Research Assistant Professor at Rochester Institute of Technology working in the National Technical University for the Deaf (NTID) Center on Cognition and Language, developing a new battery of ASL-L2 proficiency assessments and investigating cognitive benefits of acquiring a second language in a second modality. I am also affiliated with the NTID Deaf Studies Lab where I investigate variation and language attitudes in ASL.
