About Me

I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Temple University. Previously, I was an Andrew W. Mellon fellow in the Humanities at Stanford University.

I received my PhD from New York University in 2014. My committee members were Paul Boghossian (chair), Ned Block, Jim Pryor, and Crispin Wright. I went to college at UC Berkeley and graduated with a double major in Philosophy and Cognitive Science.

Between college and grad school, I spent two years as a research assistant for Anne Treisman in the Psychology Department in Princeton. In 2009, I was a visiting student at the École Normale Supérieure and the Institut Jean Nicod in Paris, France.
