Before coming to Berkeley, I received a B.A. from Kalamazoo College (2006), M.A. from Georgia State University (2010), studied abroad at the Budapest Semester in Cognitive Science, and worked as a research assistant in several neuroimaging and psychology labs, including the Moral Cognition Lab at Harvard University.

Much of my work is in the philosophy of mind, action, and moral psychology, but I also have serious interests in metaethics and the philosophy of language. On the empirical side, I’m currently working in the Concepts and Cognition Lab here at Berkeley.
