About
Cecilia is a Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics at the University of Michigan, specializing in bilingualism, language contact, and sociolinguistics, with a focus on Spanish in contact with English in the U.S. and Nahuatl in Mexico. Prior to beginning her doctoral studies, she earned a B.A. in the Teaching of Spanish and an M.A. in Hispanic Linguistics from the University of Illinois at Chicago.
