Hello!

I'm a third-year PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics and a Jackman Junior Fellow in the Jackman Humanities Institute at the University of Toronto. I work primarily within semantics, typology and psycholinguistics. My dissertation supervisors are Suzi Lima and Barend Beekhuizen.

My main research utilizes theoretical and experimental approaches to investigate countability in the nominal and verbal domains across the world's languages. Separately, I also do descriptive and theoretical work on semantic aspects of Macuxi (Carib), an indigenous language spoken in Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela. Topics I work on include: pluractionality, space and motion.

Other languages I've worked on include: colloquial Singapore English, Malay/Indonesian, Mbyá Guaraní and Gilaki (Northwestern Iranian). I am also broadly interested in language documentation, ethical fieldwork practices, and the description of understudied languages.
