Welcome!
I am currently a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University. My areas of specialization are Greek and Roman Ancient Philosophy and Ethics.
My main research project examines how human nature shapes virtue. I address this question at the intersection of ancient proposals and current concerns in ethics. To learn more about my research and access paper drafts, click here.
I completed my Ph.D., M.Phil., and M.A. in Classical Studies at Columbia University and my Licentiate degree in Philosophy (summa cum laude) at the University of Buenos Aires. You can find my complete CV here.
At Harvard and Columbia, I have taught classes in the departments of Philosophy, Classics, and the Core Curriculum. I share teaching resources and syllabi here.
In 2018, I won Columbia’s Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching. Afterward, I was selected to be a member of the Presidential Teaching Award Committee. This allowed me to think further about what it means to be a good teacher in general and a good philosophy teacher in particular.
In addition to my departmental service responsibilities, I have been involved in several events and initiatives that promote and support diversity in the discipline of Philosophy. For example, I co-organized the MAP (Minorities and Philosophy) chapter at Columbia, mentored undergraduate students from underrepresented backgrounds, and co-organized the 1st Latinx Philosophers Conference. The conference just had its 7th edition at Temple University.
In my free time, I like to learn about human emotions. This informs both my academic work and my public philosophy. I even hosted a podcast about them!
