I am a linguist who works in the subfields of phonetics and laboratory phonology. Most of my research is related in one way or another to speech prosody.

I completed my Ph.D. in the Linguistics Department at UCLA and have been at the City University of New York (CUNY) ever since. As of fall 2023, I am Professor in the following programs at CUNY: the Undergraduate Program in Linguistics at the College of Staten Island; the MA/PhD Program in Linguistics at the CUNY Graduate Center, and the PhD Program in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences at the CUNY Graduate Center.
