Welcome! I'm an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University). I work mostly in epistemology, with some overlap in feminist and social philosophy, as well as philosophy of language. These days most of my research is centred on inquiry.  
Here is my CV. 

I co-founded and help to organize The Inquiry Network. 

 I was a first-gen college student, and I recently wrote about my journey into academic philosophy for #First-GenPhilosophers. 


I grew up in Mississauga, Ontario, and I have two cats, Bean and Ghost, and two dogs, Sammy and Porcco (one of whom was named after the main character in this Hayao Miyazaki anime).
