I am an assistant professor in philosophy at Vassar College. I earned my PhD in Philosophy with a concentration in Cognitive Science at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York in September, 2020.
I work on empirically informed philosophy of emotion, with a focus on how interactions with other mental states can reveal the role of emotions in the mind. My research bears on questions in philosophy of mind about intentionality and consciousness, and also on questions about how emotion norms can reinforce oppressive social systems.
When I’m not doing philosophy, I enjoy hiking (city and wilderness alike), running, and sharing beautiful food.
