I am a graduate student of Linguistics, studying phonology and learnability. My primary areas of interest lie in theories of learning and the architecture of phonological grammar, as well as deploying experimental methods to answer questions about the nature of phonological knowledge.

My primary research interest is in learnability in phonology. I am focused on exploring the computational and formal sides of linguistics in the context of acquisition and learning.

Currently, my research concerns the learning of morpho-phonological patterns and specifically phonologically conditioned allomorphy. My thesis project (under the supervision of Dr. Anne-Michelle Tessier) will ask the question: “to what extent is phonology driving generalizations when learners are faced with an idiosyncratic morpho-phonological phenomenon?”

My past research project involved investigating the “a priori” knowledge that the learner has and whether speakers exhibit biases which go against the ambient language and their linguistic experience. The project which was on SSP Projection effects can be viewed on OSF here.
