I received my Ph.D. from Stony Brook University in August of 2007, and I'm currently a Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at Pomona College in California. This semester I'm teaching LGCS 10: Introduction to Linguistics, and LGCS 185: Topics in Syntax. I'm interested in Syntax and the Syntax/Semantics interface, working specifically on the syntax and semantics of factivity and sentential complementation. My new contact information is as follows:
