She is a psycholinguist and neurolinguist, as well as an author, whose expertise lies at the intersection of language and cognition. With a PhD in linguistics from the University of Florida, her research delves into the intricate realms of language comprehension, production, and learning, encompassing both socio-cognitive and neurophysiological perspectives.

Her passion for understanding the cognitive mechanisms of sentence processing spans first language (L1) and second language (L2) contexts. Her insights into (Second) Language Acquisition and Bilingualism/Multilingualism offer a comprehensive exploration of the dynamics shaping linguistic experiences. This book, rooted in her PhD dissertation, distills years of dedicated research into a concise exploration of these key areas.
