Welcome! I am a rising senior at Brown University studying Linguistics and English with Honors. I'm particularly interested in literary theory, sociolinguistics, and semiotics. I have research experience in linguistics and development economics.
During the 2025-2026 academic year, I am an undergraduate fellow at the Cogut Institute for the Humanities.
In 2022, I started Tomayto Tomahto, a, podcast about language and linguistics. I continue to host, produce, and edit the podcast. It's a great joy and privilege to interview academics—to showcase the research, theories, methodological designs, and ideologies of different intellectual projects and disciplines. The podcast has been streamed in over 85 countries.
