About
I am a recent PhD graduate from the Department of Linguistics at Harvard University, and I received a BA in Linguistics and Classics from Cornell University. My main areas of interest are historical change, both morphological and phonological, synchronic morphophonology from a generative perspective, and the study of Proto-Indo-European. My dissertation, which I defended in July 2023, focuses on the synchronic status of paradigms, morphomes, and affixal alternations from the perspective of how they relate to analogical change.
I previously served as the 2021 - 2022 Pedagogy Fellow for our department, as well as the Primary Instructor for our Senior Thesis Writing workshop, Teaching Fellow for the department Practicum in Linguistics [a professionalization course], and organizer of the Harvard GSAS Workshop in Indo-European and Historical Linguistics. In my spare time, I enjoy playing games, guitar, and watching football (soccer).
