My story
Language is more than words—it’s how we connect, think, and recover. As a University Lecturer at RUG’s AI Department, I explore the intersections of linguistics and technology. The insights I gained during my Ph.D. journey in Neurolinguistics (IDEALAB) shape my understanding of human language processing, particularly in multilingual contexts, which forms the basis for my current research.
Beyond academia, I’m a Speech and Language Therapist, helping individuals with aphasia, developmental language disorders, and speech difficulties regain their voice.
My work blends science, education, and therapy, making language accessible and empowering. I'm happy to connect if you share the same passion!
