Hello!
a bit about me:

I am an interdisciplinary scholar and  PhD Candidate in the University of Pennsylvania's Philosophy Department. 

​

I am a Philosopher of Violence.

​

The work I do is centered around violence, identity, personhood, colonialism, trauma (how it affects agency), affect (namely guilt and grief), and narrativity/poetics.

​

My broad interests are anti-colonial theory, social epistemology, philosophy of mind (with a keen interest on collective mind), and memory. 

​

I work with Latin American Philosophy, Caribbean Philosophy, Indigenous Philosophy, and Critical Black Studies to explore the impacts of jointly particular and collective experiences of colonial violence.
