I am a sixth-year Ph.D. student in Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania.

My main interests are:

  • Theoretical Implications of Language Change and Typological Diversity
  • Theoretical and Experimental Semantics
  • Theoretical and Experimental Morphology
  • Theoretical and Expeirmental Syntax

I am currently pursuing a dissertation in the synchronic and diachronic variation in Germanic ditransitives with Tony Kroch, Julie Legate, David Embick and Don Ringe.

I am also affiliated with the Embick Lab, Language Variation and Cognition Lab, and Experimental Study of Meaning Lab.
