I am a PhD candidate in Linguistics at The Ohio State University, specializing in morphology and African languages.
My dissertation, titled Topics in Kihehe Verbal Morphology, describes the tense-aspect system of Kihehe (Bantu, Tanzania), investigates the erosion of a suffix, and examines how language use attitudes are developing in the area. I am advised by Professor Andrea Sims.
