I am a...

Aspiring teacher and researcher passionate about behavioral and neuroscience research in Psycholinguistics. Previously, as a language teacher, I was recognized as an energetic and loving instructor equipped with the knowledge to provide student-centered teaching with strong SLA and Linguistic theoretical foundations.

As a current student at the UCSD Cog Sci PhD program, I aim at becoming a professor that contributes to the fields of Cognitive Science (brain and language), Psycholinguistics and SLA. I wish to investigate learners' hardships in language acquisition through neuroscience methods, and bring to light useful findings that could make language learning and communication more efficient.
