I am a fifth-year PhD student in Linguistics at Harvard University, with research interests in phonology, historical linguistics, metrics, dialectology, and computational and corpus linguistics. My research examines probabilistic patterns in language and poetic meter and cumulative interactions between phonological factors. I analyze corpus data and conduct experiments to build more empirically grounded formal models of phonology. My dissertation, <em>Metrical Grammar: Variation, Cumulativity, and Generalization</em>, brings together my longstanding interest in poetry and philology with my training in formal, computational, and statistical approaches to linguistics. I am fortunate to be advised by <a href="https://meluhha.com/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kevin Ryan</a>, <a href="https://becker.phonologist.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Becker</a>, and <a href="https://alekseinazarov.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Aleksei Nazarov</a>.
