Welcome to my Academic Journey

I am a PhD student in the Linguistics Department at the University of Oregon where I work with Volya Kapatsinski, Rachel Weissler Powell and Kaori Idemaru.

My research interests are (socio)phonetics as well as cognitive aspects of language. I am also interested in how people's speech changes over their lifespan and how languages interact and interfere in a multilingual speaker's mind.

I hold two bachelor’s degrees - a bilingual degree (Licence Franco-Allemande) in Musicology from Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen (Germany) and the University François Rabelais in Tours (France) and a two-subject degree in Anglophone Studies and History from the University of Duisburg-Essen (Germany).
