I am a philosophy instructor specializing in the philosophy of artificial intelligence, comparative cognition, and metaphysics.

My academic journey has taken me through both the STEM and humanities fields in order to instill in me a philosophical outlook firmly entrenched within modern applications. After completing my dual degree at Louisiana State University in biological engineering and religious studies, I became enamored with philosophy and began pursuing the subject. I was lucky enough to move to California and attend the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology. At DSPT, I learned to incorporate the STEM fields into an overall philosophical outlook. From this introduction to philosophy, I then set my sights on obtaining a PhD in the subject. Moving to Texas, I continued this pursuit of philosophy by entering the PhD program at the University of Saint Thomas in Houston, Texas.

While at the University of Saint Thomas, I have honed my philosophical knowledge, specialization, and teaching ability. Currently, I am writing my dissertation on the limitations of AI based on a phenomenological Thomistic theory of knowledge while fulfilling the additional role of an adjunct instructor.

In my role as an adjunct instructor at UST, I have been enhancing my pedagogical pursuits by teaching multiple philosophy classes in metaphysics, ethics, philosophy of nature, and Continental Philosophy, all while continuing to publish, present talks, and organize workshops within philosophy.
