About Me
I am a PhD student in the Department of Psychology (Cognitive and Neural Sciences concentration) at the University of South Carolina, working under the supervision of Dr. Amit Almor.
My research focuses on psycholinguistics and the cognitive neuroscience of language — particularly how people track and represent spatial information about auditory sources during language comprehension. I am also interested in how language interacts with discourse structure, reference processing, and spatial cognition more broadly.
I hold an M.A. in Linguistics (Psycholinguistics) and a B.S. in Psychology (Magna Cum Laude), both from USC. I am also fluent in French and have a secondary interest in the psycholinguistics of bilingualism.
