I am a linguist specialising in phonetic analysis and the production-perception link in bilingual speakers. I received my PhD in Linguistics from Boston University in August 2026, where I worked under Dr Charles Chang. My dissertation looked at how sequential bilinguals phonetically accommodate in their L2 and the effects in the production and perception of their L1 post-L2 changes. You can access my dissertation here.

I am currently a Lab Manager at the Centre for Language Science at Penn State University, where I focus on studies related to all things bilingualism.
