About Me

Picture
Welcome! I'm an assistant professor in the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Toronto, Canada.
My research and teaching revolve around second language acquisition – how a second language is learned and processed based on factors such as age of acquisition, learning contexts, living environments, and more.
I am particularly interested in examining diverse second language learners, including immigrants, college students,
​and heritage language learners, through psycholinguistic approaches.
