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. My committee is Jim Joyce (chair), Gordon Belot, Sarah Moss, and Brian Weatherson.

I am a visiting student in the NYU department of philosophy for the 2025-26 academic year. I am being 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 this game, and do (very large) jigsaw puzzles.
