Currently, I work as an Associate Director of the Research Labs at the Roman Family Center for Decision Research at the University of Chicago Booth Graduate School of Business.
Before that, I was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Chicago, Goldin-Meadow Laboratory, working on the effect of using gesture in teaching mathematics to deaf and hearing children.
I defended my Ph.D. at UCSD where I worked at Rachel Mayberry Lab for Multimodal Language Development . My primary research interests are sign languages, language evolution, the relationship between language and number, and the impact of delayed language exposure on adults' language abilities.
In my dissertation, I investigated the effects of language deprivation on the acquisition of numeracy and linguistic number use in American Sign Language. Besides that, I work on Russian Sign Language morphology.
I am also an alumna of the UCSD program of research and training in anthropogeny - CARTA.
When I am not doing research, I write fiction, and I have even published several short stories and a magical realism novel in Russian.
