About: 

Over the last several years I’ve been part of interdisciplinary projects at UMD ranging from research on autism and early child development to the Langscape project on worldwide language mapping and language diversity.

I'm the Director of the PULSAR undergraduate program and involved in development of our Guatemala Field Station, and I do whatever else I can to help build and support the UMD language science community's education programs, research teams, communications, outreach and other interdisciplinary activities.
