At present, I hold a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Faculty of Linguistics, Philology and Phonetics of the University of Oxford, where I also hold the position of Stipendiary Lecturer in Linguistics at St Peter's and Hertford Colleges, and Stipendiary Lecturer in Spanish Linguistics at Oriel College. 

My research explores the evolution of the Romance languages, with special interest for the Gallo and Ibero-Romance continuum, mainly touching upon Catalan and Occitan sentence structure and sociolinguistics. I am also interested in language policy for minoritised languages and curriculum development.

You can read more about my research interests and projects here and you can find a list of my publications and talks here. 

I love teaching in higher education, and I seize every opportunity I have to spread my enthusiasm about linguistics. I have extensive teaching experience in introductory courses in syntax, semantics, historical linguistics and general linguistics theory, as well as advanced courses in historical linguistics, comparative Romance linguistics, and linguistics theory. I have also taught translation from and to Spanish, and Spanish and Catalan languages at all levels. Through the years, I have acquired extensive experience in course convening, exam setting, exam marking, as well as supervising research projects at undergraduate level. 

In addition to my research and teaching activities, I am associate editor of the Journal of Historical Syntax, associate editor in linguistics of the Bulletin of Contemporary Hispanic Studies, and copy editor of the Journal of Catalan Studies.

I studied Classical studies at the University of Cambridge before pursuing postgraduate studies in Romance linguistics and eventually taking the leap into research, also at the University of Cambridge.

I am an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, and in 2023 I received the AQU accreditation to teach in the higher education sector.
