I'm a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellow in Philosophy at Uppsala University in Sweden. Previously, I was Lecturer in Philosophy at Exeter College, University of Oxford.

I completed my PhD at University College London (UCL), during which I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to Princeton University, where I conducted part of my PhD research. Before that, I did an MPhil in Philosophy at the University of St. Andrews, and my undergraduate studies in Lisbon and St. Andrews.

I was state-school educated and a first-generation university student. Before attending university, I lived the (obviously much less exciting!) life of an almost-professional footballer in Lisbon, Portugal, where I was born and grew up.
