About Me

I am a graduate of the College of William and Mary 2014 with a B.A. in Linguistics and History. Currently I am a M.A./Ph.D student in Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My current research deals with how language is used and how understanding can change in differing contexts, for example how people define what counts as a lie, and how our brains process emojis. At the University of Illinois, I've taught several linguistics courses, including the popular Linguistics 100 introductory course. I spent a semester abroad in Sevilla, Spain during my undergraduate studies and that remains one of the best experiences of my life.
