I am an assistant professor at Memorial University of Newfoundland. My research spans different topics in syntactic theory, focusing on dependencies across clauses and on nominal licensing. Most of the data I have worked on is the result of a partnership with native consultants of understudied languages.

I received a PhD degree from MIT and an M.A. degree from Universidade de São Paulo. Before MUN, I served as a lecturer at Queen Mary University of London and at Yale.
