Profile Summary

Linguist, language enthusiast, and field biologist at heart. I write articles, reviews, and blog posts covering biology, linguistics, and language learning. I've been known to occasionally add humoral infusions, often in the form of questionable puns. Translating from German into English and Spanish and bidirectionally between English and Spanish Research interests orbit corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, multilingualism, and language revitalization.
