About Me

I am currently a graduate student at San Francisco State University. I am majoring in Philosophy having a concentration on Nietzsche and Bioethics. I graduated from Fresno State University majoring in Philosophy. I am currently part of the Golden Key International Honor Society and was in the College of Arts and Humanities Honors Program in which I am currently developing my theory of personhood and identity for the thesis that I had to write in order to graduate with Honors. I plan to get my PHD and go into the field of Bioethics so that I may practice it and write theory (I really want to write theory, but I need more experience). Last semester I also completed a medical ethics internship. Other than that I study A LOT. I tend to have a habit of reading about 3-4 books at the same time for my own personal research which I am still doing apart from my school work and for my enjoyment.My main focus is studying Nietzsche. My own personal research deals with Nietzsche's philosophy.
You scored as Ubermensch, You are Friedrich Nietzscheâ€,,s ideal overman. Challenging conventional morality and beliefs you overcome the nihilism of a world without god by utilising the will-to-power to create your own values. An artist by nature you express yourself in a distinctly Dionysian (creative) way.
