I am a PhD student in philosophy at the University of British Columbia, where I work with Evan Thompson, Cat Prueitt, and Dom Lopes on imagination, emotion, and South Asian philosophy, especially rasa aesthetic theory. I draw on Classical Sanskrit and anglophone South Asian source materials in my research. I am also a publishing poet, and hold an MFA in poetry from the University of Virginia.
