I’m a PhD candidate in philosophy at the CUNY Graduate Center. I’m primarily interested in philosophy of language, mind, and cognitive science. Find my CV here.

My work focuses on how autistic minds differ as a case study to better understand how all minds differ. In my dissertation, I develop a theory of conversation styles that explains why some conversations go better than others.

In 2024, I was the director of the NYC chapter of Corrupt the Youth. I also taught a bunch of courses at City College.

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