ABOUT ME, professionally & personally :) <click to expand>
I am an assistant professor in philosophy at California State University Sacramento since the Fall of 2022. I'm excited about everything related to the nature of action: the metaphysics of it, the epistemology of it, the cognitive science/psychology of it, etc.
I did my PhD in philosophy at the University of Virginia under the supervision of Ross Cameron.
As a philosophical nomad, I am not driven by any grand projects; I explore whatever interests me at the moment. I used to work on on Husserl's phenomenology and Kant's theory of the mind in Europe, until I realized that's not where I belong and transferred to University of Virginia to work on contemporary metaphysics.
I'm owned by a cat named Bill Billson. I didn't grow up with video games but started gaming after getting my doctorate. My favorites are Bloodborne (I have a thing for cosmic horror), The Last of Us Part 1 & 2, Life is Strange 1, Cyberpunk 2077, and Horizon Zero Dawn (basically, lore-based games). I also cook and sew, a lot.
