Office hours: By appointment (reach me via email or Canvas)

I am a first-year PhD student (formerly Master's student) specializing in Aesthetics, philosophy of emotion, and existentialism. I focus on issues in philosophy of literature, fiction, and imagination, and philosophy of psychology/mind. After earning my doctorate, I plan to become a philosophy professor and researcher.

I’m currently focusing on topics, such as AI-generated art, love, romance, and intimacy, the imagination and creativity, aesthetic experience and aesthetic judgment, emotion in art, and the ethics of art under the supervision of Dr. Iskra Fileva.

When I am not studying, I enjoy backpacking, writing prose-style essays and poetry, trail running, going to concerts, roller skating, practicing yoga and meditation, hugging my dog, and skiing.
