Over the past fifteen years, I have lived and worked in Spain, Mexico, and Bolivia. I also studied and worked in France where I earned a Master 1 in Phonetics from Université Sorbonne-Nouvelle (Paris 3) in 2015. I completed my PhD in Linguistics at UC Berkeley in 2020 and spent three years as a postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing at the University of Maryland. I joined the faculty at UCLA as an assistant professor of linguistics in July 2023.
