ABOUT
I am a philosophy Ph.D. candidate at the University of Michigan. Before coming to Ann Arbor, I studied philosophy and microbiology at UC Berkeley. Before that, I grew up in San Francisco.
During the 2026 summer and fall semesters, I am visiting the PONS group at the University of Tübingen.
My current research interests are in mind and agency. I also have a background in metaethics and the philosophy of science.
You can find me online on Substack, the UMich philosophy department directory, LinkedIn, PhilPeople, and Instagram.
