Welcome to my page!

I am a fifth-year PhD student at UCSC. My research interests lie broadly in phonetics, phonology, and language documentation and revitalization.

I am currently a co-organizer (with Niko Webster) of Equity in Linguistics (EquiL), the department’s grad-student-led working group on pedagogy, equity, and inclusion in Linguistics.

I also contribute to the Zapotec Language Project and Nido de Lenguas.
