I am a fifth-year graduate student in linguistics at Stanford University.  Here are some of the things I am interested in:

• Phonetics and phonology
• Reductions in spontaneous speech
• Speech perception
• Second language acquisition
• Automatic speech recognition
• Pronunciation teaching
• Interpretation

And yes, in response to the question most commonly asked of linguists "So, how many languages do you speak?"...

... I am an aspiring polyglot.  I speak Russian fluently and I am trying to get there with German.  I have also studied Czech, French, Spanish, and Arabic. I am trying to learn Japanese right now.

In my copious free time, I work in the speech lab at SRI in Menlo Park. This fall I am teaching Intro to Phonology at San Jose State University.

Outside of my linguistic life, I enjoy gymnastics, yoga, skiing, rock music, X-files, crosswords, chocolate, and cooking vegetarian food.
