I received my PhD in Linguistics from the University of Chicago. I am broadly interested in syntax, morphology, and Distributed Morphology. My dissertation, supervised by Karlos Arregi, is a crosslinguistic, crossmodular, and cross-theoretic study of morphological contiguity, elsewhere called *ABA effects. Phenomena within the scope of my investigation include allomorphy, suppletion, syncretism, and dialectal/idiolectal morphosyntactic microvariation, especially as these occur within Japanese honorifics and Arrernte kintax.
At Penn State, I teach a wide variety of undergraduate-level courses in the linguistics major. I am also a Co-Facilitator of the Faculty Writing Program and a member of the Morphology Circle. Outside of Penn State, I am active in the Linguistics in Higher Education Committee and as a founding member of the First-Generation Access & Equity Subcommittee.
