Hello, I first started teaching philosophy at Highline College in 2014. I strongly believe that philosophy, as a discipline, is still very relevant and teaches useful skills prized in today's rapidly changing job market: critical thinking skills, the ability to spot bad reasoning, and the ability to clearly and persuasively support one's own beliefs with good compelling reasons. In philosophy, my background is in philosophy of science, history and philosophy of physics, and logic. Recently, however, I've been thinking about anti-natalism.

When I'm not teaching, I love to travel to new places, read, cook, and play tennis.

For more on the benefits of studying philosophy, as well as overviews of what our discipline involves, I highly recommend the following :
