I am a PhD student with a BA in philosophy from the University of Colorado, Boulder. My philosophical interests are broad but mostly focused in applied ethics, with special interests in the philosophy of death and the ethics of killing. My dissertation defends the Epicurean view that death is not bad for the one who dies.
