I am a 5th year Ph.D. Candidate at the University of California's School of Education who works with Dr. Judith F. Kroll at the Bilingualism, Mind, and Brain Lab. As a researcher, I am interested in studying different types of language variation.  Particularly, how cognitive and social factors moderate sociolinguistic variation through the use of psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic techniques. The following questions guide my overall research program.

How do languages change over time to accommodate a diverse range of speakers?

What can this tell us about the cognitive and social interplay of languages?
