About Me:

I graduated with an MA in linguistics from UNT in spring 2003. From UNT, I went to Yale University for my PhD in linguistics from 2003-2009, where I worked mainly on semantics and pragmatics and Brazilian Portuguese. In my last semester at Yale I was hired for a three-year post-doc at the University of British Columbia at Vancouver, where I worked until 2011. From 2011-2021 I was a professor of linguistics at the University of Minnesota Duluth, where I continued to work on semantics and pragmatics, though my interests evolved to include topics in sociolinguistics as well. In January 2022 I was hired as Professor of Linguistics and Chair of the Department of Linguistics at UNT.
