I'm a Visiting Assistant Professor at Swarthmore College's Department of Linguistics. My research seeks to understand the nature of cross-linguistic variation in command fragments like "Silence!" and "No smoking!" I have previously taught at Haverford College and was a graduate student at the University of Delaware.

Research interests:

• Clause Types
• Fragments
• Case Marking
• Illocutionary Forces
• Diff. Subject Marking
• Imperative Semantics
• Politeness Pronouns
• Uzbek
• Question Imperatives

Teaching for Fall 2026:

• LING 050: Syntax I
• LING 100: Thesis Seminar

News:

• I recently presented at PLC 50! See the slides here.
• My work on negation-licensed commands was published in Language. Access here.
