I received a PhD in linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley in 2025.

My research investigates the structure of the phonological grammar and its interfaces through original fieldwork on lesser-studied languages. My main empirical focus is on A'ingae (or Cofán, ISO 639-3: con), an Amazonian isolate spoken by ca. 1,500 Cofán people in Ecuador and Colombia. Some themes that figure prominently in my work include the relationship between phonological and morphosyntactic domains in complex agglutinative words and cyclicity across modules.

I was awarded the NSF Linguistics Program's Doctoral Dissertation Research Improvement grant #2314344 for Doctoral Dissertation Research: Nominal and deverbal morphology in an endangered language (i.e. A'ingae).

My work has been published in Linguistic Inquiry, Natural Language & Linguistic Theory, Phonology, IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, the Journal of Semantics, the Journal of Linguistics, Language and Linguistics Compass (twice), Glossa: A Journal of General Linguistics, Language Documentation and Description, and an edited Language Science Press volume.
