Carvalho is a Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese, where she leads the Sociolinguistic Research Lab (SoReLa). She serves as Chair of the Second Language Acquisition and Teaching Program (SLAT), is an affiliated faculty member of Latin American Studies, and holds a courtesy appointment in Linguistics. Her research focuses on sociolinguistics, language contact, and bilingualism, with a particular emphasis on language variation and change.

She mentors students who share her research interests and also those studying language attitudes, language ideology, code-switching, sociolinguistic corpus development, and variationist approaches to language and dialect acquisition. Outside work, she enjoys yoga, fiction, traveling, and cooking.
