I became a philosophy major at Santa Monica (community) College and maintained my interest after transferring to UCLA. As an undergraduate student, I attended an APA session in epistemology and became addicted to Gettier literature. I took a gap year and wrote a sample for graduate school on how Gettier is wrong about Plato (and Plato is correct that knowledge is not something like a justified true belief).
In 2015, I began graduate studies at Saint Louis University. My research interest remained in epistemology but I moved beyond Plato (likely because I can't read Attic Greek!). Under John Greco's supervision, I became a doctoral candidate in 2019. On April 28th, 2020, I defended my dissertation on how propositional knowledge is possible without belief. | ||||

Dissertation Title: Knowledge Beyond Belief
I broaden the limits of knowledge beyond traditional conceptions and contemporary alternatives by arguing for knowledge beyond the scope of belief.
