Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a grad student in linguistics at UMass Amherst. I graduated MIT in 2007 with a B.S. in Linguistics & Philosophy. I have been a TA several times as an undergrad, served as a grader during my first term in grad school, and taught linguistics for HSSP in spring 2007. I love linguistics and I love to talk and teach, so this should be really fun. In my free time, I dance, sing, and knit up a storm. If you would like to talk about linguistics or anything else, I am always available. Please feel free to email me.
