I’m a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy. My dissertation is about personal authenticity and its value. This topic combines a couple of my interests: (1) bringing the methods of analytic philosophy to questions that have been traditionally addressed in existentialist philosophy, and (2) understanding the various sources of value and reasons in our lives and how we organize them in our practical reasoning. I’m also very interested in applied ethics (especially animal ethics) and moral demandingness.
My supervisors are Alastair Norcross and David Boonin. I received my B.A. from the University of Colorado at Denver, my M.A. in philosophy from the University of Tartu in Estonia, and also spent some time at Lingnan University in Hong Kong.
In my free time, I like to go on walks, play video games, watch movies, and make music.
