I am a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I received by PhD from the University of Connecticut in 2024. I completed my BA and MPhil degrees in Linguistics at The University of York and The University of Cambridge respectively, before moving to Connecticut.
My research interests broadly include syntax, morphology and generative typology,particularly within the nominal domain. I work predominantly on associative plural constructions (APC) cross-linguistically, but am interested in heterogeneous plurals (similative plurals, approximative plurals) more generally. I am particularly interested in languages that use regular plural morphology as (or as part of) the associative plural, and show that this homophony is tied to syntactic constraints on locality and differences in (amount of) nominal functional structure cross-linguistically.
I am also interested in English dialectal variation. I have worked on the well-attested British English do-ellipsis phenomenon, as well as the particularly under-researched singular us pronoun (the morphologically plural us is used with first person singular (i.e. speaker) reference).
When I'm not thinking about linguistics, you can find me reading books or making/upcycling furniture out of wood.
