Teaching and Mentoring

Undergraduate Student Mentees

One of the absolute best parts of my job is working with students. I regularly supervise undergraduate students for course credit through the Department of Linguistics's Directed Research Program. If you are interested in joining my lab and getting some course credit while satisfying the Capstone requirement for the Linguistics Major, don't hesitate to be in touch!

Graduate Student Mentees

While I also love working with graduate students, I am not actively recruiting new PhD students for the admissions cycle beginning in December 2024. That said, if you are interested in working on bilingual speech perception or on speech perception and sound change, you are of course welcome to email me!
