Thank you for checking out my site. 

I am a graduate student in philosophy at UT Austin, with research interests primarily in philosophical logic and the philosophy of language.

I am presently completing a dissertation on privative adjectives under the supervision of Josh Dever. I recently completed an MA in linguistics under the supervision of David Beaver and Ashwini Deo on the topic of epistemic adverbs, part of which was published in the proceedings of Sinn und Bedeutung 30 under the title "On certainly". 

I also have interests in epistemology, the philosophy of mind, and the philosophy of film. 

In tandem with my studies, I have been proud to have founded and, for the past four years co-organize the South By Semantics Workshop, which I launched with Venkat in 2023 and now run alongside fellow UT graduate students Juan Diego Rodriguez Sasha Boguraev and Sampada Deshpande. 

Before moving to Austin in 2020 I lived in Seattle, where I studied linguistics and philosophy at the University of Washington.
