About
I am a PhD Candidate in the Philosophy Department at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. During Academic Year 2026- 2027, I’ll be a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor at Wellesley College. Before Rutgers, I studied philosophy, biology, and neuroscience at Wellesley College. I grew up in Salem, MA.
I’m interested in the intersections between philosophy of mind, philosophy of cognitive science, and neuroscience. My research is broadly motivated by questions concerning explanation, ontology, and computation in cognitive science. My current project — “It’s All in Your Head” — focuses on the role of DNA in brain function.
I am advised by Liz Camp, and my other committee members are Frankie Egan, Paul Pietroski, and Carl Craver.
