About Me
Hi! I am a sociolinguist and language educator in Anchorage, Alaska. I recently completed my M.A. coursework in Applied Linguistics at UMass Boston. I am writing my Master's thesis on diaspora sociophonetics and sociopolitical stance and applying to doctoral programs.
My research focuses on how minoritized and marginalized speakers navigate grammatical systems and identity construction in discourse. In addition to my scholarship, I teach adult ESOL and Russian.
I live, work, and study on the unceded ancestral lands of the Dena'ina Athabaskan people.
