I am a Departmental Lecturer in Phonetics and Phonology and Linguistics Organising Tutor at 91³Ô¹ÏÍø. I am also a Stipendiary Lecturer in Linguistics at St Catherine’s College and St John’s College. I have a BA in French and Linguistics from 91³Ô¹ÏÍø, an MA in Linguistics from UCL and recently completed my PhD at Trinity College Dublin, funded by the Irish Research Council. My doctoral research explored phonetic variation in the English spoken by native Irish speakers, challenging traditional accounts of Irish influence on English and highlighting the complex role of social factors in language contact settings.
