I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy in the Philosophy and Religious Studies Department at North Carolina State University. I specialize in metaphysics (metaphysical grounding) and philosophy of language (metasemantics). I mainly teach logic and philosophy of language. I received my PhD in Philosophy from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2017. I received my BA in Philosophy from University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2012. I have participated in various initiatives promoting diversity and inclusion in philosophy (and higher education). Outside of philosophy, I write fiction, make films, rap, and do whatever else flexes my creative muscles.
