I am currently (Spring, 2021) a full time PhD student and Teaching Assistant in the department of philosophy at Florida State University. My primary research interests lie in the intersection of the philosophy of law, experimental philosophy, and all matters related to causation.
During 2016 and 2017 I provided legal representation to domestic violence survivors as an attorney for the Domestic Violence Action Center in Honolulu, HI. There I assisted clients in all aspects of divorce and paternity including child custody, child support, alimony, visitation, and property distribution, as well as all matters surrounding Temporary Restraining Orders and Orders for Protection.
Acquiring novel skills and excercising creativity are essential to cultivating a healthy mind and joyful life: sailing, music, film-making, whatever looks like fun!
