I am an Assistant Professor in Language & Communication and French Linguistics at Utrecht University. I received my Ph.D. at Radboud University in 2022. My main research interests are in experimental syntax, the status of linguistic phenomena in the 'gray area' of grammaticality, research methodology, the nature of linguistic intuitions, the processing of structural alternatives, exploring individual variation patterns, and statistics. My research also touches on the influence of (non)verbal cues in different text types on the attitudes and behavior of readers.

In December, I will present joint work with Raemon van Geen and Marco Bril at the Going Romance 39 conference in Venice, Italy: Still no correlation between working memory capacity and island effect sizes: New data from French embedded question and adjunct islands.
A new paper on parasitic gaps and adjunct islands in Dutch, written by Cas Coopmans, Kars Ligtenberg, Michelle Suijkerbuijk, and myself, was published in The Linguistic Review! You can find it here.
