I’m currently a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow in philosophy and VISTA at York University. Starting January 2025, I will be an assistant professor in philosophy at Boston University.

My main research interests are in epistemology, philosophy of mind, and philosophy of cognitive science. Most of my work is about the nature and epistemic value of the imagination, with a particular interest in uses of sensory imagination to represent and investigate the actual world. Recently, I’ve been especially interested in how theorizing about the imagination can help us better understand the dynamics of groups with interesting belief systems, including conspiracy theory communities, cults, and other religious groups.

I’m also interested in various other topics in epistemology and philosophy of mind, especially topics related to perception, memory, and the nature and normative significance of knowledge.

I’m originally from Canada’s west coast, having grown up just outside Vancouver and completing my B.A. Hons. in philosophy at the University of British Columbia. I completed my PhD at the University of Toronto in September 2021.
