Research Overview

I am a PhD candidate in philosophy where I primarily work on Spinoza’s metaphysics. My thesis explores the relationship between Spinoza's ontological terms—substance, attribute, and mode—with a focus on the concept of expression. 

I also have interests in metaphysics, ontology, existentialism, philosophy of film, and the philosophies of early modern women, especially Astell, Conway, and Wollstonecraft. 

My research is generously funded by The Philosophical Quarterly.
