I completed my undergraduate degree with an interdisciplinary B.G.S. in Neuroscience, Psychology, Philosophy, and Cognitive Science from the University of Central Florida in 2023. While there, I published an undergraduate thesis analyzing the metaphysics and philosophy of mind described in Spinoza's Ethics as they relate to contemporary theories of panpsychism. 

I am interested in a plethora of topics, particularly in the interplay between contemporary, historical, and ancient theories of the mind and self, and how these inform our understanding not only of how consciousness is situated within a being, but what this means for how we are to interact with ourselves, each other, and the world around us, both natural and political. To this end, I am also broadly interested in ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of religion, and aesthetics.

While away from the armchair, I enjoy making music, dancing, and loving mother nature through quality time, service, and communion.
