I am a PhD candidate in the Philosophy Department at Brown University. My main interests lie in ethics and moral psychology.  I also have an active research interest in Kant's practical philosophy, and the history of philosophy in general. My research so far has focused on questions concerning how we should live. These include inquiries into what makes for a good life, and issues relating to moral motivation. There are many more topics I hope to work on some day. In the meantime, I am happy to combine my many interests with my passion for teaching.
