Graduate student, Linguistics
I am a 4th-year PhD student in the Linguistics Department at New York University. Motivated by my experiences as a Korean and (African-American) English bilingual, I am interested how the bilingual mind processes multiple languages. This work is intended to connect language processing models to linguistic theories that can in turn generalize across monolingual and multilingual populations.
Before arriving at New York University in Fall 2017, I received two Bachelor’s Degrees (Linguistics, International Affairs) from the University of Georgia and a Master’s Degree (Linguistics) from California State University – Northridge.
