Me and Coco

Hello! My name is Tara and I am currently a 1st year master's student at UW in the computational linguistics program. I was originally born in Germany but I grew up in Florida and ended up in Seattle to do my undergrad at UW, which was in linguistics. Some of my favorite languages are German (which I am relatively fluent in), Māori (a language native to New Zealand which I have briefly researched), and Bardi (an endangered language of Australia that I have done some grammar engineering-related work in).
As far as non-school-related interests go, I work part time at a horse barn out in Redmond a couple times a week (it gets me outside, even in the rain), love to read (though I can rarely find time to do it), am a big fan of listening to music, and love to go hiking.

One of My Favorite Quotes

"Tell me and I forget,
teach me and I remember,
involve me and I learn."
