I am a Postdoctoral Teaching Fellow of Spanish at Penn State. My research combines psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics, focusing on how social backgrounds influence language use and comprehension. As a first-generation scholar from Puerto Rico, I bring a unique perspective to my work, which includes several years of teaching, research, and editorial experience. Outside of academia, I enjoy traveling, gardening, cooking, and dancing. If you’d like to know more about me, please visithttps://www.justalinguist.com.
