I am a PhD student at the English Seminar and research assistant at the chair of Prof. Marianne Hundt. I enrolled at the UZH in 2018 and completed my BA and MA degrees here, majoring in English Literature and Linguistics and minoring in Latin Philology. I have conducted research on English as a foreign language in South Korea and Switzerland, focussing on language perceptions and use. In my MA thesis, I analysed Swiss high school students’ use and perception of the present perfect.

In my PhD thesis, I aim to continue my work on the present perfect by examining the expression of perfect meaning on a large scale in varieties of English in the British Isles. I hope to examine large datasets in order to present an overview of the frequency and variation of constructions expressing perfect meaning in different contexts.

I am available as a supervisor for BA theses, particularly (but not exclusively) for theses on topics that align with my research interests and foci.
