I'm a PhD candidate at Rutgers Philosophy, advised by Ted Sider, Liz Camp, Juan Comesaña, and Kevin Dorst. I work in epistemology and metaphysics, on meaning and evidence and their relevance for social philosophy.

In 2025, I'm graduate co-director of PIKSI-Boston. I convene the Epistemology Reading Group at Rutgers and am conference manager for the Rutgers Epistemology Conference in 2026.
