I'm a linguist with interests in syntax, language change, and language documentation and revitalization. I received my PhD from UC Berkeley in 2023, and I currently work as the Assessment and Project Manager for the Mellon-funded Together with Humanities grant (PI Brook Danielle Lillehaugen) at Haverford College. I continue to work with the Nukuoro Documentation Initiative to create resources and programming for the Nukuoro language, a Polynesian Outlier language of Micronesia.
My dissertation documents and analyzes the syntax of Nukuoro, with a particular focus on the structure of matrix and relative clauses and the expression of ergativity in the language. My CV can be accessed here. The header image was taken on Nukuoro Atoll in June 2019, when a friend and I had an (unexpected) overnight stay on the outer islets. |
