**Research Interests:** Legal and Political Philosophy, Ethics, Meta-Ethics

I received my B.S. in Physics from MIT in 2019. I work primarily in political philosophy, and am especially interested in the philosophy of race, democratic theory, and their intersection. I'm currently working on a project on gentrification and housing policy, thinking about which people (and/or groups of people) should have a voice in neighborhood-level zoning and construction decisions. If you're interested in any of the above, I'd love to chat!
