About Me

In September, I will begin pursuing my Ph.D. in philosophy at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. Before Northwestern, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in philosophy, with minors in economics and mathematics and a concentration in undergraduate research, from Creighton University in Omaha, NE.

My primary research interests are in epistemology. I’m interested in how groups, communities, and institutions influence our judgements about evidence and justification when forming beliefs, attaining knowledge, or pursuing understanding. I also have secondary interests in general philosophy of science, philosophy of mind/language, and social & political philosophy.
