Biography:

I am currently a sophomore at Penn State from Havertown, Pennsylvania. In the future, I plan on working in International Business because I love traveling. Outside of the classroom, I am involved in a variety of on-campus organizations including a professional business fraternity, a club sports team, TedxPSU, and am also a group fitness instructor. My hobbies include listening to music, hiking, cooking, and crocheting.

Project Summary

My PIRE project will take place in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where we will be recruiting bilingual Spanish/English speakers and studying how they codeswitch using a computer program. We hope to understand the circumstances that may elicit codeswitching and how Spanish and English effect eachother in everyday speech.
