Hello!

I am a linguistics researcher and PhD candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center, where I manage the Second Language Acquisition Lab. 
My primary research interests lie in bilingualism and heritage languages, with a focus on psycholinguistics and discourse–syntax interfaces. My dissertation examines how multilingual speakers in different sociolinguistic contexts process and evaluate language in real time. Using experimental approaches alongside proficiency and language-background measures, this work addresses broader questions about how linguistic knowledge is represented, how patterns of language use shape interpretation, and how structural constraints interact with community-level experience.
