Assistant Professor of Philosophy

Santa Clara University
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Santa Clara University. I earned my Ph.D in philosophy from the University of Texas at Austin in May of 2019.
My philosophical areas of specialization include environmental philosophy & ethics and the philosophy of psychology. More specifically, I am currently articulating a series of arguments in defense of biodiversity, forest, and dark night sky conservation. I draw heavily on empirical literature (in e.g., psychology, ecology) and the work of indigenous and residential philosophers, who demonstrate the efficacy of Traditional Ecological Land Management.
My areas of competence include the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of art and aesthetics, and the philosophy of religion, with a particular emphasis on non-Western traditions (e.g., Buddhism, Daoism, Hinduism, and broadly animistic traditions).
In my spare time, I enjoy meditating, engaging in public philosophy, reading, painting, and hiking with my pup, Aurora.
