Hello! I am a 4th year doctoral student in Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania. I work with Dan Swingley trying to figure out how and when young infants learn the meanings of their very first words. I haven’t figured it out yet. I’m doing several eye-tracking studies in pursuit of these questions.
Before coming to UPenn I was a Baggett Research Fellow at the University of Maryland Linguistics Department, where I worked with Jeff Lidz, Bill Idsardi, and David Poeppel; some of that work is ongoing. Before that I was an undergraduate at NYU where I studied Language & Mind, Music, and French, and worked under Gary Marcus. My childhood and adolescence were spent in Columbus, Ohio, in a lively household with Russian immigrant parents, 3 sisters and a brother. I currently reside in West Philadelphia.
