I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Marian University in Indianapolis, IN. Before coming to Marian, I completed my PhD at Washington University in St. Louis in 2023. I also hold an MA in philosophy from the University of Missouri - St. Louis and a BS in biology and psychology from Rockhurst University.  Between degrees, I worked for both local government and a non-profit as a policy analyst.

My research focuses on questions in metaphysics and philosophy of religion, and is of a broadly Neo-Aristotelian flavor. One major project concerns how one might fashion a reasonable hylomorphism that avoids issues besetting more traditional versions of the view. Other projects explore how work in metaphysics and ethics can help make progress on questions in philosophical theology, e.g., what God's power consist in, how we relate to God. 

In addition to introductory philosophy courses at Marian, I regularly teach ancient philosophy, medieval philosophy, metaphysics, and a PPE course.
