I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Infant Studies Centre, under the supervision of Dr. Janet Werker. I received my Ph.D. training in Communication Sciences and Disorders (with a specialization in Language Acquisition) from Dr. Linda Polka at McGill University. My research broadly focuses on the effects of language experience on speech and speaker processing in both infants and adults.
