About Me
I am a linguist who studies multimodal language use in signed and spoken languages. I'm interested in the relationship between embodied cognition, general cognitive mechanisms, and emergent linguistic structure. My research interests span Cognitive Phonology-Semantics, Usage-based Construction Grammar, Sociolinguistic Variation and Change, and Iconicity's role in language organization and processing.

I'm currently living and working on the traditional lands of the Coahuiltecan, Tonkawa, Comanche, and Lipan Apache people. I would like to acknowledge the Alabama-Coushatta, Caddo, Carrizo/Comecrudo, Coahuiltecan, Comanche, Kickapoo, Lipan Apache, Tonkawa and Ysleta Del Sur Pueblo, and all the American Indian and Indigenous Peoples and communities who have been or have become a part of these lands and territories in Texas
