I completed my Ph.D. in Philosophy at UCLA in the fall of 2021. I am currently a John and Daria Barry Postdoctoral Associate at the Illinois Forum on Human Flourishing in a Digital Age, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Here is my CV.
Research
I specialize in ethics, moral psychology, and the philosophy of action. My dissertation was on irony and morality, and my current work is unified by an interest in the role of unachievable ideals in practical reasoning. This interest animates working papers on an array of topics: contentment, the negative emotions, irony, G.E.M. Anscombe’s account of motives, and the difficulty of representing virtue as its own reward in games.
