In 2023, she started a YouTube channel called The Stories'' Eater where she initially shared her fieldwork experience as an independent researcher, her views on cinema, AI, and academia, as well as her passion for stories in a broad sense.

Academia

​

Recent academic experience: Visiting scholar at LLACAN (CNRS Villejuif, Paris), awardee of a Labex EFL scholarship, September-December 2022.

​

Her BA thesis focused on analysing and collecting loanwords from Italian, English and French into Amharic. During her MA studies, her interest in Afroasiatic languages increased: her thesis was a study on situatives in Somali and Amharic, through the innovative Constructive Adpositional Grammars (CxAdGrams) framework. Her current project is a typological study on singulatives in Cushitic languages. 

​

Her doctoral research in Linguistics at the Department of Languages, University of Helsinki, is currently on hold.
