I am an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago, working on epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophical logic, and philosophy of action. I am currently placement director for the department.

In 2018–19 I was a Bersoff Fellow at New York University. I received my PhD in philosophy from MIT and my BA in philosophy from Reed College.
