My research focuses on the documentation and analysis of native Amazonian languages with an emphasis on morphosyntactic phenomena of typological and theoretical interest. I defended my dissertation, which describes and analyzes the Tuparí language of Rondônia, at the University of Chicago in June 2018. As of January 2023 I am an assistant professor in the Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics at Syracuse University.

My dissertation received the 2020 Mary R. Haas Book Award from the Society for the Study of the Indigenous Languages of the Americas (SSILA). You can read more about the Haas Award here. And you can download the dissertation itself on LingBuzz.
