Hi! I'm a PhD student in the UCLA Linguistics Department.
I'm finishing up my dissertation at the University of Kansas before beginning a postdoctoral research position at the University of Manchester in January 2019.
I specialize in semantic fieldwork; my dissertation is on evidentiality, aspect, and tense in Tatar. I have done most of my work so far on Warlpiri (Pama-Nyungan), Llogooli/Luragooli (Bantu), and Tatar (Turkic).
