Biography

I am currently a Lecturer in Linguistics and a member of MARCS Auditory Laboratories. Before joining the University of Western Sydney I received my PhD in Linguistics at New York University, my BA from the University of Southern California and worked as a research assistant at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven and at the PEP Lab (Phonetics and Experimental Phonology Laboratory) in New York City.
