Hi there

I am a Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience PhD Student and a member of the Learning, Memory and Language Lab in the Department of Psychology at Florida State University, working with Dr. Michael Kaschak. I am broadly interested in how the underlying embeddings of language models align with our intrinsic language networks and semantic knowledge.

Previously, I was in the Department of Information Science at the University of Colorado Boulder, where I was working with Dr. Michael Paul. My past work looked at how we can leverage machine learning to better model language and social dynamics like gesture recognition for sign language, emoji usage and the spread of health misinformation. Prior to that, I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in Linguistics.
