Lab Affiliation(s): Bilingualism, Mind, and Brain Lab

Research Interests: Age of acquisition effects in second language learning and processing; language learning processes in children and adults; lexical access in bilinguals

I am a first year student in the Cognitive area advised by Judith Kroll. I studied Psychology at Wellesley College, where I worked in Jennie Pyers’ Laboratory for Language and Cognitive Development. In Professor Pyers’ lab, I worked on projects that looked at the connection between children’s language and cognitive development and also on studies that looked at the linguistic and cognitive effects of bilingualism in adults. After graduation, I worked for Jill de Villiers at Smith College as a project coordinator for a study that developed the first computerized assessment for monolingual English-speaking preschoolers and Spanish-English bilingual preschoolers.
