I am a graduate student in Slavic Languages and Literatures at the University of Kansas. My research focuses on verbal aspect and the functions it serves in speech. I'm primarily interested in Slavic aspect—Russian, Polish, and Old Church Slavic are my main working languages—but I think it's important to look at verbal aspect outside the Slavic languages as well. To that end, my research also addresses verbal aspect in Tohono O'odham, an Uto-Aztecan language spoken in what is today southern Arizona and northern Sonora, Mexico.
