I'm a fifth year PhD candidate in the philosophy department at the University of Michigan. My research is in ethics, philosophy of action, and aesthetics. I'm advised by Sarah Buss.

Here is my CV.

My research focuses on what it means for agency to be unified, both at a time and over time. I am currently working on a project that considers whether having integrity requires that we be prepared to die  for what we believe in. I am also thinking about temporally extended agency, self-promises, and procrastination.

Many of my side projects are in the philosophy of art. I majored in architecture in college and I've never been able to shake off my love for the arts. I'm especially interested in the social dimensions of art and the high/low art distinction. (I'm an ardent proponent of the lowbrow!)

I am currently co-director of Minorities and Philosophy International, where I've been organizing since 2019.
​
​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 was born and raised in Vancouver, BC.
