I am an M.A. student in Hispanic Linguistics from Indianapolis, Indiana. I am currently teaching as an Associate Instructor of Spanish at Indiana University. Prior to beginning work on my M.A., I graduated from Indiana University with honors earning my B.A. in Spanish and in English. I have studied abroad at the University of Salamanca in Spain. My research interests in Hispanic Linguistics are focused especially in the areas of second language acquisition and phonology. I am particularly interested the acquisition of phonology for beginning learners in a classroom setting, and I am especially passionate about finding ways to apply my learning in order to improve my teaching.
