Brief Biographical Sketch:

I work on the structure of verbs in Kinyarwanda (a Niger-Congo language from Rwanda) and the meaning of concepts like "must" and "should".

I studied Pure Math and Linguistics at the University of Toronto before coming to MIT.

Outside of school I enjoy playing with dogs, going to the theatre, and listening to jangle pop.
