Biography
I have held appointments as Teaching Fellow in Phonetics and Phonology at UCL from September 2019, then Lecturer (Teaching) in Linguistics from October 2020 until January 2023. I joined the Department of Linguistics, English Language and Bilingualism at Bangor University in January 2022, where I conduct research on minority language attitudes as part of an ESRC-funded project, but continue to conduct research in phonetics and phonology and hold an honorary appointment at UCL.
