Brief biography
I became interested in foreign language learning when I first went on study abroad to Dublin (Ireland) while in high school. Since then, I have oriented my undergraduate studies towards the language, literature and culture of English (Philology), and later to Spanish during my graduate studies. My research concentrates on the acquisition of Spanish word order and morphology among traditional classroom learners and second-generation Hispanic immigrants i.e., heritage speakers of Spanish whose dominant language is English. I have taught language courses of Spanish and courses of General Linguistics and Spanish Linguistics at the University of Kentucky and at Purdue University. I am also interested in topics about Latinx identity, as well as the role of language sciences in promoting values of inclusivity and mutual respect in a global society.
