Began with a Studio Art foundation and then studied Cognitive Science, Philosophy of Mind and Philosophy of Perception, ending with a concentration in Philosophy of Language (specifically Wittgenstein) and Model-Theoretic Semantics (specifically Montague grammar).

The equivalent of my senior thesis was entitled "Transparent Objects and Nonexistent Entities," a treatise at the intersection of metaphysics and logic that explored some problems in modal realism and object reference drawing on the works of Wittgenstein, Frege, Quine, Kripke, and Davis.
