Hi!

About me

I’m a PhD researcher based at GULP, University of Glasgow. I’m supervised by Dr. Faith Chiu and Dr. Rachel Smith.

My research

My research interests lie mainly within speech prosody, sociophonetics, and Glaswegian English. I am particularly intrigued by the intonation patterns of Glaswegian speakers, focusing on how speakers from different language backgrounds realise focus sentences. You can contact me at the email:
