Biography
In 2021, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Literatures (concentration in English Language and Applied Linguistics) from the Federal University of Santa Catarina, Brazil. During my undergraduate studies, I was a visiting student at the University of Calgary, Canada, funded by the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (Government of Canada).
In 2022, I did a research internship at the Psycholinguistics Laboratory at the Leibniz Centre for General Linguistics in Berlin, Germany.
Research
Areas of Research
As an applied linguist, I am interested in real-world language-related issues. Broadly, I am fascinated by all phenomena related to non-native speech, such as how second language users learn and process the sounds of a new language, how cognitive and psychosocial individual differences affect the learning process, how listeners react to non-native speech, and how speaking with a foreign accent impacts speakers’ lives.
Pronunciation teaching is another research interest of mine, which includes teacher education and the development of resources to help teachers address pronunciation more effectively in the classroom.
