About

After transferring sophomore year from Simmons University in Boston, I am a senior at Reed College in Portland, Oregon pursuing my B.A. in philosophy with a personal educational emphasis in creative writing.

Philosophically, I am most interested in how new technologies interact with our world and society. My goal is to write my senior thesis on philosophical issues pertaining to AI language models, machine learning, generative art, and future physical-technological integration, particularly emphasizing epistemological consequences of these technologies. After graduation, I am looking to pursue a Ph.D. in philosophy.

I was also an editor at the Reed Quest, the campus newspaper, for the 2024-2025. I was elected to the position by my peers after a semester of being a staff writer. At the Quest, I took on webmaster responsibilities on top of content editing and writing. On campus, I photograph some of the student life at Reed and often participate in weekly events, and have even been known to be hired as a campus event DJ on occasion.

When I am not busy with schoolwork, I work on my novel, short stories, and write poetry while sending out work for publication. I also founded and edited a literary magazine called Aphor, which is focused on poetry and prose with philosophical themes or showcases a strong command of language. Some of my non-academically driven interests and hobbies include blues, jazz, and international music, musical history, journaling, web design, blogging, learning Latin, physical fitness, classic and cult films, interior design, documentaries (specifically Les Blank!), Renaissance art, humanist photography, minimalistic fashion, and stand up (or even sit down) comedy.
