I am a third-year PhD candidate at the Department of Linguistics, Georgetown University. I joined the PhD program in Applied Linguistics in 2024. Born and raised in Belgrade, Serbia 🇷🇸, I completed my BA and MA studies at the University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology. With over 9 years in EFL teaching, I have a demonstrated experience across different age groups and levels. My research focuses on L2 language processing using psycholinguistic methods (current pursuit: eye-tracking).
