I’m a linguist specializing in psycholinguistics, with experience designing behavioral experiments and quantitative studies on how the brain processes language.

After completing my PhD in linguistics at UC San Diego and a postdoc at the University of Paris, I left academia in 2022 to found Contexicon, a startup focused on applying psycholinguistic research to language-learning software. In that role, I collaborated closely with software engineers, working to translate research insights into practical educational tools. While the startup didn’t reach sufficient user traction to continue development, the experience strengthened my ability to bridge linguistic research and technology.

I’m now looking for roles that draw on my background in experimental research methods, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration. For more details on my background, take a look at my projects portfolio, my academic publications and talks, or download my resume.
