I am a third-year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at UC Santa Cruz. My main research interests are in psycholinguistics, phonetics, and laboratory phonology. In particular, I am interested in how physical and cognitive constraints on production and perception can shape formal phonological grammars and cross-linguistic phonological typology, and how this constrains our hypotheses about the phonetics-phonology interface.

Before coming to UCSC, I received my BA, Honours Linguistics from the University of British Columbia. When I’m not doing linguistics, I enjoy chess, guitar, and cycling.
