About MeI am a philosopher of mind and cognitive science, specializing in theories of skill and practical, embodied intelligence.
I am currently pursuing an MA in clinical mental health counseling in order to understand how the development of experiential, existential, and relational skills is connected to growth, healing, and well-being.

Research |
My research focuses on skill, mostly of the embodied kind. I am currently developing an account of skill, which highlights several different kinds of control that are involved in skillful actions. This account entails that many automatic processes should qualify as intelligent. I've also worked on an account of how skill learning and conceptual thought might be related, on the connection between skills and early perceptual processing, and on how skills are not reducible to propositional thought. I'm also interested in how embodied skills can inform our understanding of emotions, well-being, and mental health.
