Overview: 

My research interests are epistemology, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language. To be specific, I work on the a priori in analytic epistemology, scientific explanation and understanding in philosophy of science, and reliabilism in virtue epistemology. For my MA thesis, I wrote on Kripke's contingent a priori knowledge. For my PhD project, ... well, I'm still working on it! Outside of my research, I have been the editor of the newsletter of PSA (Philosophy of Science Association) Women's Caucus "Science Visions" since 2020.
