Welcome! I am currently Assistant Professor of Instruction at the University of Texas at San Antonio. Starting Fall 2026, I will be joining the Philosophy Department at Wofford College. I received my PhD from the University of California San Diego. My thesis chairs were Manuel Vargas and Dana Nelkin.

I work primarily in Metaphysics and Ethics, with a focus on Free Will and Moral Responsibility. My current research project involves developing and defending a novel version of agent causation.

I also have strong teaching and research interests in Latin American Philosophy, Ancient Philosophy, and Philosophy of Science.
