Hi!
I am a PhD in Linguistics candidate at the Graduate Center, CUNY. My reseach interests include: Grammar Induction, Information Extraction, Narrative Analysis, Corpus Linguistics, Syntax, Language and Speech Processing, Sociolinguistics, Authorship Analysis, Ethics and Bias in NLP. I earned a B.S. in English from Jacksonville University, an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Southern Maine Stonecoast program, and an MA in Linguistics from the University of Nevada, Reno.
When I'm not working, I kind of dabble a bit in everything. I write creatively, and I read and edit fiction and nonfiction (you can find some of my creative works in Fiction Southeast and the Tahoma Literary Review). I love playing video games. I actively follow sports and eSports. I enjoy programming, hiking, brunching, and bar hopping with friends, as well as helping people with research projects.
