I’m a second year Master’s student in UNC’s linguistics program. This fall and spring,
I am TAing a section of LING 101. For the 2008-2009 academic year, I was a TA for the
Romance Language Department.

My current research interests lie in the behavior of second formants in pitch-accented
diphthongs in English, and other prosodic phenomena. Although my research is not
currently slated in this direction, I am also interested in tonal languages (like Mandarin
Chinese) and the loss of tone during creolization.
