I am a linguist and researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, with a specialization in the morphosyntax and variation in Indonesian languages. My current research is focused on colloquial Indonesian and Madurese, an understudied language spoken primarily in East Java. Broadly speaking, my interests include syntax and its interfaces; syntactic variability and its theoretical implications; sociolinguistics and variation; collaborative fieldwork, particularly in under-represented languages; and writing about linguistics/language.

Currently I hold a faculty position in Critical Writing in the Disciplines, and my seminars are organized around topics in linguistics and cognitive science (see Teaching page for current and upcoming classes).
