About me

I was born and raised in rural West Virginia. I went to college in Virginia, and later to graduate school in Chicago and Miami, where I settled down in the late 1990s. I am a linguist and essayist. I love language, linguistics, and writing about them. I am currently working as a professional development coordinator and program director for a large international language services company in Miami, Florida, where I have worked since 2003. Earlier this year, I also started working with Educational Testing Service, as an essay rater for the TOEFL iBT program.

My academic interests include historical linguistics, theoretical phonology, English dialectology (especially African-American English), Indo-European studies, neuroscience, and anthropology (among many others).

In my spare time, I love reading, exercising (especially boxing and competitive running), playing strategy games and mind-bending puzzles, along with spending time with my friends.

If there is anything I can do to help you, or if you have any language-related questions you'd like to ask me, please feel free to contact me.
