Research Interests
- My research interests include two main strands:
- 1. Language development in Spanish-English heritage bilingual populations. In this area, my research focuses on understanding how heritage speakers develop knowledge of Spanish grammar and language production, and comprehension skills and the extent to which heritage speakers may exhibit different levels of proficiency in these skills. My main goal is to uncover the processes that underlie crosslinguistic influence in heritage bilinguals.

- 2. Indigenous languages in contact with Spanish. In this area, the project focuses on how information about COVID-19 reached speakers of indigenous and minoritized languages such as Peruvian Quechua and Ecuadorian Kichwa. It also involves language documentation of indigenous and minoritized languages. Project link: https://sites.google.com/view/saipm-covid19/home?authuser=0
