I'm a third year PhD student in the philosophy department at the University of Michigan. My research is in ethics, practical reason, social philosophy, and aesthetics. I'm advised by Sarah Buss.

Right now my research focuses on temporally extended agency and the relationships we have with our past and future selves. I am interested in whether we can appeal to the benefits of being planning agents to explain the binding force of our long-term commitments. I also have research interests in the philosophy of art, especially on problems raised by elitism in the artworld and the high-art/low-art distinction.

​Before coming to Michigan, I received my BA in philosophy and architecture from Wellesley College and studied philosophy and art history at the University of Oxford. I grew up in Vancouver, BC.
