Hello! I am a fifth year PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Davis. I am broadly interested in computational psycholinguistics, and study human language processing in natural (e.g., Arabic) and programming (e.g., Java) languages. I also study how humans interact with virtual assistants such as Amazon’s Alexa.

I am advised by Dr. Emily Morgan and currently manage the Morgan Computational Psycholinguistics Lab.
