Service, Resources, & Community Partners

A linguist’s work is only made possible through the incredible resources provided by community partners and the time, effort, and relationships given graciously by speaker communities. On this page you will find some resources and community partners I rely on heavily, admire, or have worked with. Please be sure to learn more about them!

University of Michigan Language Resource Center

I was very fortunate to work at UMich’s LRC during my undergrad. I worked primarily on documenting archival sources on the history of language courses at UM and as an enrollment intern for Less Commonly Taught Languages (LCTLs). If you would like to learn more about the specific projects I worked on during my time at the LRC, please visit this site.
