Hello! I am a fifth year Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan. I work primarily in formal epistemology, and I also have serious research interests at the intersection of metaphysics and philosophy of physics.

My dissertation explores the relationship between credal accuracy and making true guesses. I am 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.
