I am a linguist who studies Mayan languages, with a special focus on historical morphology, language contact, and colonial texts. I completed my Ph.D. in Linguistics at The University of Texas at Austin in August 2023. My research is primarily archival, but I have direct field experience with languages of the K'iche'an branch, particularly K'iche' and Poqomchi', and to a lesser extent Q'eqchi' and Uspanteko. I also have extensive experience with constructed languages and have done commission work before - if this is a service you are interested in, please contact me at the email listed below.
