I’m a data analyst, sociolinguist, and mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative) researcher with expertise in:

• Study startup: study conceptualization, experimental design, participant recruitment

• Data collection: surveys, interviews, focus groups

• Data analysis: descriptive and inferential statistics, data visualization, discourse analysis, phonetic analysis

• Data diffusion: technical writing, editing, public speaking

I have 14 years of experience in conducting quantitative and qualitative research, 9 years of project management in a research lab, 15 years of teaching language & linguistics. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

For the last 9 years I was an Assistant and then Associate professor of Spanish & Linguistics and the Founder and Director of the Sociolinguistics and Bilingualism Research Lab at Texas Tech University.
