I am a 6th year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at UMass Amherst. My research is on syntax and its interfaces with semantics and morphology. 

I have a strong interest in linguistic typology, language change, and inter-speaker variation. I address theoretical questions by doing fieldwork and studying underdocumented Indigenous languages.  Much of my recent work has centered around Chukchi, an endangered Chukotko-Kamchatkan language spoken in Russia. 

When I don't do linguistics, I dance and do theater and performance art.
