I am an associate teaching professor in the Department of Psychology. I teach courses in the Cognition area, including a laboratory and seminar in psycholinguistics, Psychology of Language, and Cognition, along with Cross-Cultural Psychology, Laboratory in Research Design, and Statistics. My dissertation research investigated sentence production: the effects of conceptual properties on syntactic planning, the effects of the syntactic structural similarity of parts of an utterance on syntactic planning, and lexical selection in short utterances (simple noun phrases).
