Welcome

I am a fourth-year PhD student in the Department of Linguistics at McGill University. I am a member of the Montreal Underdocumented Languages Linguistics (MULL) lab. I did my BA at the University of British Columbia. I am broadly interested in syntax, semantics, linguistic fieldwork, and language revitalization.

My current research interests revolve around questions of tense, aspect, mood, argument structure, and verbal syntax. My research primarily engages with these and other aspects of Ktunaxa [ktu.ˈnʌ.χa], a language isolate spoken in the Columbia River Basin, and Kanien’kéha, an Iroquoian language spoken in Ontario, Quebec, and New York. I have also worked on Kirundi, a Bantu language spoken in Burundi.
