About Me
I am a Ph.D. Student in Romance Linguistics at UC Berkeley. I hold an M.A. in Romance Languages (Spanish & Italian linguistics) and a B.A. in International Business and Spanish from The University of Alabama. My research focuses broadly on the intersection between grammatical change and quantitive variationist sociolinguistics in Romance varieties. See my CV for more!
