I am a first language acquisition researcher interested in the acquisition of determiner phrase semantics and logical connectives, the early acquisition of functional categories, and theoretical issues concerning the semantics/pragmatics interface. I have a secondary interest in statistical methods, philosophy of science, and the role of input in language acquisition, particularly with respect to differences in how developing children and transformer-based language models make use of input.

I completed my Ph.D. in Linguistics at the CUNY Graduate Center and joined the Rutgers Center for Cognitive Science as a Postdoctoral Associate in the fall of 2024.
