I received my B.A. in philosophy (2000) from Boston College and my Ph.D. in philosophy (2006) from the University of Sheffield.

I am interested in metaphysics and perceptual experience. My research focuses on questions about perceptual experience and its relation to the world. I am interested in what our experiences reveal about the world and in how our perceptual judgments are justified. I am also interested in the history of early modern philosophy.

Besides teaching metaphysics and the history of philosophy, I regularly teach logic and introduction to philosophy courses at UAA.
