About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Toronto.My primary research focuses on embodied, situated, and enactive approaches to the philosophy of mind and cognitive science.  I am particularly interested in how these approaches can help shed light on consciousness and intentionality.I am also interested in the philosophy of science broadly, especially as it relates to questions concerning scientific naturalism and the place of the mind in the natural world.  I completed my M.A. in the History and Philosophy of Science and Technology, and my B.A. in Philosophy and Cognitive Science, both at the University of Toronto. From 2022-2023 I was a Ph.D. student in the Department of Philosophy at York University.
