Trinity O'Neill
Graduate Student
I am a fourth-year student in the graduate philosophy program at Baylor University. Originally from southern California, I received my undergraduate degree from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where I majored in philosophy and also swam for the Lions. I subsequently earned a law degree from Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and went on to spend a few years working in admissions and registrar for John Paul the Great Catholic University in Escondido, CA. During my time there, I realized how much I missed studying philosophy and decided to pursue a master's degree at Franciscan University of Steubenville. My academic interests include virtue ethics, the thought of Karol Wojtyla, transformative experience, and second-personal accounts involving I-thou relationships and narrative as potential ways to approach questions in ethics and philosophy of religion. I am currently working on my prospectus, which will involve reading lots of Thomas Aquinas as I ponder what it means to consent to infused virtue. When I'm not being a student, I enjoy game nights with friends, watching movies, going for walks, reading fiction, and dancing.
