Bio

I completed a BA in English at the University of British Columbia. My honour's thesis was on contemporary readings of Shakespeare's much-maligned Titus Andronicus. Thinking about hermeneutics led me to develop an interest in the philosophy of language, specifically in what makes it the case that we mean what we do by our words. I started reading Davidson and Wittgenstein on my own and never looked back. I did an MA in Philosophy at York University, Toronto, and am now pursuing my PhD at York. 

With two young kids, most of my non-philosophy time is spent building Lego structures and discerning what kind of bug is presently being held up to my face. In those rare moments of free time, I enjoy hiking, playing boardgames, and reading fiction.
