I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Language & Multilingualism Lab. Prior to joining the Department of Psychology at McGill, I completed a PhD in Linguistics at the University of Ottawa in 2024, under the mentorship of Prof. Laura Sabourin. My doctoral thesis examined the relationship between code-switching and cognition by utilizing corpus-based, behavioural, and electrophysiological methods. In particular, I created the "French-English Bilingual Loved-Ones Corpus" (FEBLOC) an open access tool containing approximately 17 hours of speech from dyads of bilingual couples, family members, and friends. During my graduate work, I also studied accented-speech perception as a visiting researcher at the Basque Center of Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL), with Prof. Clara Martin and Prof. Sendy Caffarra (now at University of Modena).
I am particularly interested in exploiting naturalistic socioecological paradigms to probe the intersection between bi/multilingualism and cognition. Currently, my work with Prof. Debra Titone engages this research interest by honing-in on digital communication (i.e., typing). We investigate the ways in which demographic (age, gender), linguistic (L1, L2, code-switching), and psychological (deception) phenomena interact with keystroking behaviours during the production and the perception of typed communication.
