I am a PhD candidate in Linguistics at The Ohio State University, specializing in morphology and African languages.

My dissertation, titled Topics in Kihehe Verbal Morphology, describes the tense-aspect system of Kihehe (Bantu, Tanzania), investigates the erosion of a suffix, and examines how language use attitudes are developing in the area. I am advised by Professor Andrea Sims.

You can find my CV here.

Other things I am involved in:

• compiling a dictionary of Kihehe link
• collaborating with Simon Msovela on negation in Kihehe
• looking at change in Iringa Swahili with Hannah Gibson and Teresa Poeta
