I’m a software developer at the Language and Cognition Lab at Stanford University. I work on tools and resources for data sharing and other open science practices.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the Quantitative Sciences Unit at Stanford University, where I worked with Maya Mathur on tools for reducing bias in meta-analysis and on studies of interventions for reducing meat consumption.

Before that I got my PhD in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at MIT, where I studied how kids learn words and word structure. I was advised by Ted Gibson and also collaborated extensively with Mike Frank, Virginia Marchman, Tim O’Donnell, and Roger Levy.
