Research Interests: Metaethics and Moral Psychology; analytic flavors of Marxism and Existentialism.

My dissertation attempts to develop a theory of what the question of “the meaning of life” is a question about, why we ask it, and how answers to it (or the lack thereof) are related to our deepest ethical commitments. I’m also interested in issues pertaining to the first-person standpoint and bad faith, and how ideology should affect the way we think about democracy. I received a BA in Philosophy and Music from Fordham University in 2014, and joined the Harvard Philosophy Department in 2018.
