​​
​​I work on Ancient Greek philosophy, especially philosophy of language and metaphysics, with a focus on the Stoics. I am particularly interested in the Stoic theory of lekta, the development of theories of language and meaning in antiquity, and applications of Stoic semantic theory in contemporary philosophy of language. My current work centres on Stoic axiōmata and the Stoic account of reference. 

While I work primarily on Hellenistic philosophy, I've also published papers on Plato's metaphysics and on the Presocratics (specifically on Eleatic metaphysics, science, and epistemology). You can read more about my work in these areas here. Outside of ancient philosophy, I am interested in questions about speech acts, the metaphysics of propositions, and comparative philosophy.

I am a SSHRC Postdoctoral Fellow in the Philosophy Department at the University of Toronto. Starting in Fall 2023, I will be an Assistant Professor at the University of Washington - Seattle. My PhD is from the University of Texas at Austin, where I was a doctoral student in the Joint Program for Ancient Philosophy.
