I am a PhD Candidate in Philosophy at UNC, Chapel Hill. My primary research interests are in ethics, social & political philosophy, and ethics of technology. I also have strong background and interests in Ancient Greek philosophy, logic, PPE, and philosophy of science (including philosophy of economics and philosophy of physics).

My dissertation, A Critique of The Attention Economy, examines whether the attention-based economic market underlying recent technologies is helping us to live well. I incorporate virtue-based objections to markets, including that they can corrupt our values and character, to argue that the attention economy is deeply at odds with autonomy, human flourishing, intimate relationships, and virtuous attitudes toward attention and its value.
