I am a fourth year PhD student at the Linguistics Department of the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. My research focuses on sociolinguistics, language documentation, and phonetics. More specifically, I am interested in sociophonetic variation of Yiddish spoken by the secular/Yiddishist community, lexical variation in Jewish English spoken in Australia and the US, and ethnobotanical linguistic study of Woleaian, a Chuukic language spoken in the Federated States of Micronesia.
