I'm a fourth year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland, College Park. My primary area of interest includes speech perception and its neural bases. Additionally, I'm interested in issues involved lexical access and retrieval. My advisors are David Poeppel and William Idsardi, and I am a member of the SOUND++ Lab. Prior to coming to the University of Maryland, I spent a year as a visitor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, San Diego (where I fell in love with the outdoors) and completed my M.A. (2003) and B.A. (2001) from the Program in Linguistics at the University of Florida.
In addition to studying linguistics, I really enjoy photography, which you can read more about here. I also enjoy running, hiking, camping, kayaking and playing soccer.
Thanks for stopping by...
