I am a third-year Ph.D. student in Linguistic Anthropology at the University at Albany, State University of New York.
My research focuses on endangered and understudied languages. I work primarily on Copala Triqui, a Mesoamerican language of the sizeable Oto-Manguean language family that originated in Oaxaca, and now has a large diaspora community residing in Albany, NY. I am also currently researching Ch'ol, a Mayan language; and Malawian CiTonga, a Bantu language.
My research interests include phonology, the syntax-phonology interface, tonosyntax, and grammatical tone, language documentation, diaspora linguistics, and quantitative methods in linguistics.
