I am an Assistant Professor in the Yale Linguistics Department. My research program is in theoretical phonology and issues at the syntax-phonology interface, including the relationships between prosodic and (morpho)syntactic constituents, phonological realization of morphemes, and linearization. Since 2011, my empirical focus has been prosodic structure in Blackfoot (Algonquian), spoken in Montana, USA and Alberta, CA.
When I am not researching, I can be found dancing. I love any social improvised partner dance, but especially swing, blues, and Argentine tango. I am from Texas originally, and loud about it.
Research and reading groups:
- Algonquian Morpho-Phonology Circle [reading group]
- Blackfoot Lab
