I recently (in the summer of 2021) completed my PhD in philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin. Beginning in the fall of 2021, I am working under the direction of Bence Nanay as a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre for Philosophical Psychology at the University of Antwerp. My primary areas of research are philosophy of mind (including philosophy of psychology and cognitive science), philosophy of psychiatry, and action theory. The unifying thread that connects my research is the study of mental disorder and the insights it can give us into human agency.
Before coming to UT Austin, I received my undergraduate degree from the University of Notre Dame in 2016. I am originally from Saint Paul, Minnesota. In my spare time I try to keep up with my trumpet playing, which has been a lifelong pastime of mine. I am not currently in an ensemble here in Austin, but during my time in college I played in various ensembles, including the Band of the Fighting Irish (click here for a low-resolution photo of me on the field!).
