About
I am a Mexican writer studying Philosophy at Harvard College. I've held fellowships at The Nation, Harvard Magazine, and Inside Climate News; and I've worked as an editor for The Harvard Crimson and The Harvard Undergraduate Research Journal. I write about books, science, and the environment. I also write essays and fiction.
As a philosopher, I'm interested in topics on ethics, epistemology, and aesthetics. I'm currently writing my senior thesis on agency and moral responsibility. In a past life, I did research on zombie flies and Alzheimer's disease.
