Research and Work 

• I currently work at the Golub Capital Social Impact Lab at Stanford GSB. I work on plagiarism, ethical review, and literary complexity for a project on AI-generated educational content for kids to learn English as a second language.  

• May 2025 - September 2025 I was the primary RA for David Weil, the James and Meryl Tisch Professor of Economics at Brown University. I helped to research, write, and edit a new book on population growth, focusing on global fertility rates 

I am broadly interested in sociolinguistic situations wherein the primary motivation of linguistic variation is performative, not authentic. Thus, I've done research on politicians and comedians' use of language to index political allegiance/identity, place, and class. 

• In January, 2025, I was 2nd author on the paper "Representing Rhode Island: Lifespan change in the Senate" presented at American Dialect Society's annual meeting in Philadelphia, PA 

• In November, 2024, I presented "Locating class in place: an analysis of BOS and RI personae performances " as 1st author at New Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV) in Miami, FL 

• In March, 2024, I presented "Such a Southern Woman: Hillary Clinton’s shifting monophthongization of the PRICE vowel from 1979-2000" as 1st author at UToronto's Undergraduate Linguistics Conference (TULCON) in Toronto, Canada
