I am a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at Hamilton College. Before that, I taught at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru and the National University of San Marcos. I got my PhD in philosophy from the University of Southern California.
I work in metaphysics and philosophy of language. In my dissertation, supervised by Gabriel Uzquiano, I motivate and explore radical approaches to the metaphysics of social objects. Other topics I work on include proper names, gradable adjectives and vagueness.
I'm a founding member of Theorema, a philosophical organization dedicated to promote analytic philosophy and to establish a wider-reaching network of students in Peru and Latin America.
