My research uses ultrasound tongue imaging and L2 speech data to explore the representation of speech sounds. My primary research interests include second language acquisition, perception and production of non-native phones, articulation, and laboratory phonology. I received my PhD from Georgetown University in May 2021, and recently completed an NSF postdoc fellowship at North Carolina State University. I will be starting a position as an Assistant Professor at the University of Texas at Arlington in the Spring of 2026.
