About

I am a second-year Linguistic PhD student studying sign language neurolinguistics in the Corina Neurolinguistics lab. My recent research is focused on articulation and neural motor models of American Sign Language, particularly the types of sensory feedback that predominate motoric self-monitoring and correction as evidenced by cases of deaf signing aphasic patients. 

I've presented at the following conferences: 

UC Davis Center for Mind and Brain, 2024 "Conduction Aphasia and Forward Models in American Sign Language" 

UC Davis Linguistics, 2024 "Evidence for a Hierarchal Forward Motor Model in Sign Language Production"

Linguistics Society of America (LSA), Poster, 2025 "Conduction Aphasia in ASL, A Hierarchal Model of Sign Production"

Theoretical Issues in Sign Language Research (TISLR), 2025 "Conduction Aphasia in American Sign Language, Implications for a Sensorimotor Neural Model of Sign Processing"
