Biography

Qualifications

- BA in Wildlife Media (2016)

- MSc in Linguistics (2019) 

Research summary

My research revolves around documentary linguistics. In more recent years, I have been focussing on the morphology, phonology and linguistic history of the South Nilotic languages but I am also interested in ideophones, language evolution and historical phonology. 

Current research interests

I'm currently documenting aspects of the grammar of Sengwer, a South Nilotic language of Kenya. My supervisors are Bert Remijsen and Amalia Skilton.

Past project grants

- ELF Language Legacies Grant with the project 'Sengwer dictionary and storybook' (2022)
- BA/Leverhulme Small Grant as an RA with the project 'The sound system of Sengwer, an endangered language of Kenya'
