I am a PhD candidate in the philosophy department at the University of Southern California, where I am advised by Andrew Bacon. My main research areas are in epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophical logic, decision theory, and feminist philosophy. 

Before USC, I studied logic and philosophy of science at the Munich Center for Mathematical Philosophy, and philosophy at UC San Diego and the University of Belgrade.

Service

I have been actively involved in addressing issues of underrepresentation in philosophy as a Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) chapter member, international organizer, and co-director for a number of years. In these roles, I have organized numerous events, created a database of resources that is currently available on MAP’s website, and helped oversee the operations of over 200 chapters worldwide. Recently, I spearheaded a project – MAP’s first publication, Structural Injustice in Philosophy, which I also co-edited with Maeve McKeown and Seunghyun Song.
