I'm a language researcher based in New York, NY, who loves linguistics, cognitive psychology & user experience.
I actively pursue these interests as a language engineer in tech, where I take a quantitative, data-driven approach to solve a variety of language-mediated UX problems in areas such as machine learning, natural language processing and voice user interface.

“Language touches every part of our lives; it gives words to our thoughts, voice to our ideas, and expression to our feelings. It is a rich and varied human ability—one that we can use without even a thought, that children seem to acquire automatically, and that linguists have found to be complex yet describable.”
