Brief Biographical Sketch:

I am very interested in understanding the human animal: how we're different from other species, how we're similar; where we come from, where we're going; what are we capable of, what aren't we. To (try to) answer some of these questions, it is important to pull from many different fields including neuroscience, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, and biology to name a few.

At MIT, I work as a technical research associate in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences studying how brains and minds are capable of language use. Before that, I worked at Vanderbilt University studying studying how people produce and comprehend language. I obtained my BS in neuroscience with a minor in linguistics from the University of Southern California.
