I am currently a postdoctoral associate at MIT. I received my PhD in 2023 from Princeton University. While at Princeton I was also a Recognised Student at the University of Oxford in Hilary and Trinity Terms 2023. I was a member of the Princeton Classical Philosophy program (CPhil) and was the CPhil graduate representative for two years (with Giulia Weißmann).

I completed my Masters in Ancient Philosophy (MSt) at Oxford in 2018 with distinction. Before that, I received a Fulbright Scholarship to undertake research in feminist philosophy at the Humboldt University in Berlin. I did my BA in Philosophy at New York University, where I received the Salomonowitz Prize for excellence in philosophy.

I read Ancient Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, German, and Spanish.

When I’m not working, I enjoy oil painting and hiking. Adjacent to this text is one of my oil paintings.
