Hello

I am a third-year PhD student in NYU's Department of Linguistics. My advisor is Laurel MacKenzie. Before coming to NYU, I received my BA in Linguistics from Stanford University and then spent a year on a Fulbright grant in Arequipa, Peru.

 

My research combines quantitative and qualitative methods to address questions of language, identity, and community, particularly in Latin America. I am especially interested in the many forms of bi- and multilingualism and the ways that bi- and multilingual people navigate and index their identities through language, as well as in the ways that language plays into the continual and dialogic negotiation of community (non-)membership.
