Profile: I am a Research Assistant working with Dr Alicia Forsberg on a project that investigates the development of memory and meta-cognition during childhood and adolescence.

Qualifications: - PhD in Psychology of Language
- MSc in Psychology of Language
- BSc in Psychology

Research interests: I am interested in developmental psychology, particularly in how children acquire and develop language and the cognitive processes that influence this. My PhD research investigated the development of syntactic representations and ambiguity resolution in children. More specifically, I examined how the choice of analysis in sentence comprehension is influenced by recent language experience, specifically through structural priming.
