Hello! I am an MLitt student at the St Andrews and Stirling Graduate Programme in Philosophy. I am primarily interested in moral, legal, and political philosophy. My current studies focus on theories of distributive justice, the moral obligations in the face of injustice, and the methodology of political philosophy.
I received my B.A. in Mathematics and Philosophy from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
