I am a Joint PhD student in the Committee on Social Thought and Department of Philosophy at the University of Chicago. I previously received a BA in Philosophy and the History of Math and Science at St. John's College, Santa Fe, and an MA from the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago.

My principal research interests are in modern European philosophy in the post-Kantian tradition. I am in the beginning stages of writing a dissertation on the problem of metaphysics in Kant's Critique of Pure Reason.  I also have strong interests in the theoretical and practical philosophy of German Idealism (Fichte, Schelling, Hegel) and the phenomenology of Martin Heidegger.
