I am a PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at Yale University. Previously, I was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, where I double-majored in linguistics and mathematics. I work primarily on syntax and morphology, with interests in agreement, negation, case assignment, and grammatical variation. I also work on possible-world semantics and the syntax-semantics interface. I primarily work on Basque and English, but I have also done research on Mandarin, Loma, Wôpanâak, and Azeri.
I am a member of the Yale Grammatical Diversity Project, and a graduate fellow at Yale’s Council on Latin-American and Iberian Studies and their European Studies Council.
