Hello! Welcome to my website.
I am Associate Professor of Spanish in the Department of Romance and Classical Studies at Michigan State University.
My research lies within the framework of laboratory phonology, which brings together experimental methods and theoretical models of sound structure. I focus primarily on Spanish, using phonetic tools to explore how phonological contrasts are maintained, how sound patterns emerge and vary in everyday speech, and how alternations develop. I also do work in second language phonology, especially how learner production and perception inform theory and pedagogy.
