I’m a PhD student in philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center and graduate teaching fellow at City College. Find my CV here.

I’m primarily interested in philosophy of language, mind and their intersections. My dissertation argues that we should conceive of neurotypes as cognitive styles, which present in their own styles of communication and pretending.

I help organize the NYC Language & Mind Reading Group. In 2024, I was the director of the NYC chapter of Corrupt the Youth.

I love bad movies, emo music and indie video games. Ask me what I’m currently playing!
