Hello! I’m currently a fifth year Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan. I primarily work in formal epistemology, and I also have interests at the intersection of metaphysics and the philosophy of physics. My dissertation is supervised by Jim Joyce, and my committee includes Gordon Belot, Maegan Fairchild, Sarah Moss, and Brian Weatherson.

For the 2025-26 academic year, I will be a visiting student in the NYU department of philosophy. I will be supervised by Jane Friedman.

Before I came to Michigan, I studied math and philosophy at Mount Holyoke College. I am originally from Wayne, PA—not too far from Philadelphia. In my free time, I like to cook, play board games, and do (very large) jigsaw puzzles.
