I am a psycholinguist dedicated to expanding experimental research beyond the handful of languages and structures that have traditionally been studied. Most recently, I’ve been working on processing of ergative case in Shipibo-Konibo, an indigenous language spoken in the Peruvian Amazon. I also study online and offline syntactic memory in sentence processing, via syntactic priming and interference paradigms in long-distance dependencies (agreement, reflexives, ellipsis, and Wh- Filler Gap constructions).
Currently, my research is partially supported by a Fulbright Scholar Award (2023 & 2024) to Peru and an Early Career Research grant from the Leading House for the Latin America region through the University of St. Gallen.
I received my doctorate in Linguistics from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and my BA in Linguistics from UCSC. At the moment, I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Comparative Language Science the University of Zurich.
I’ve previously done non-psycholinguistic work on Zulu (iso:zul; Bantu), Tlingit (iso:tli, Na-Dene) and Uda (iso:uda, Lower Cross-River).
