I am an MPhil student in Political Theory studying the history of egalitarian thought. I am primarily interested in justifications for social equality and how these justifications intersect with politics, religion, and gender/class/racial identities. Within this field, I am interested in the work of diverse thinkers such as Anne Phillips, Thomas Hobbes, Hannah Arendt, Myisha Cherry, and Judith Butler.

I completed my undergraduate studies at Amherst College, where I received a B.A in philosophy and French, magna cum laude and with distinction, and wrote an honors thesis entitled "Just Equals: An Exploration of Relational and Distributive Theories of Equality."
