Originally from Brockville, Ontario, I moved to London, Ontario to attend Western University, where I completed both my B.A. and M.A. in Hispanic Linguistics in the Department of Modern Languages & Literatures.

Currently, I am a doctoral candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Alberta, where I am affiliated with the Alberta Phonetics Lab. My main area of research concerns second language and bilingual speech, although I also conduct research in phonetics and phonology more generally. Under the supervision of Dr. Benjamin V. Tucker, my thesis will investigate the phonetic reduction of the alveolar tap in native and non-native Spanish.

I currently reside in the province of Barcelona, Spain. If any researchers would like to meet in Barcelona for tapas, coffee (or whatever else) and talk about linguistic research, feel free to contact me.
