I am an assistant professor at the Department of Linguistics at Memorial University of Newfoundland. My research spans different topics in syntactic theory, focusing on dependencies across clauses and 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 a M.A. degree from Universidade de São Paulo. Before MUN, I served as a lecturer at Queen Mary University of London and at Yale.
