Growing up in Argentina and Germany and living in New Mexico has taught me to appreciate the overwhelming linguistic and cultural diversity on our planet. I am a typologist at heart, and my current research asks how linguistic levels of representations are interrelated. My dissertation explored how phonological structure and frequency impact the distribution and persistence of complex morphology. In addition, I work on Navajo, a Native American of the Southwest, for which I am developing a corpus of historical narratives. You can visit me on Google Scholar to access my publications and on Academia academia.edu to discover further (non-peer reviewed) material.

I am currently teaching two sections of Introduction to the Study of Language and one section of Phonetics and Phonology.
