I earned my Ph.D. from Temple University in 2010. After a two year post-doc at Leeds (UK), I joined the Department as a Lecturer in the fall of 2012.

I work mainly in aesthetics, including its intersections with the philosophy of mind and theories of imagination. I have interests also in the philosophy of music.
