I am Associate Professor in the School of Philosophy at University College Dublin. Prior to moving to Dublin in 2017 I was Gerry Higgins Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Melbourne, Visiting Assistant Professor in Philosophy at the University at Albany, State University of New York, and full time Visiting Instructor at Bowling Green State University. I received my PhD in 2013 from the University of St Andrews. During my PhD I was visiting researcher at Yale and Rutgers Universities. In 2022 I was American Philosophical Association Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities at the University of Edinburgh. 

Most of my academic work focuses on early modern philosophy and lies at the intersection between metaphysics, philosophy of mind, and ethics. I am particularly interested in understanding early modern debates about selfhood, personal identity, and agency. My other philosophical interests include history of ethics, Scottish Enlightenment philosophy, early modern women philosophers, and social epistemology.

I am author of Locke on Persons and Personal Identity (Oxford University Press, 2021) and Catharine Trotter Cockburn (Cambridge University Press, 2023). Additionally, I have published journal articles in History of Philosophy Quarterly, Hume Studies, International Journal of Philosophical Studies, Journal of the History of Philosophy, Journal of Scottish Philosophy, Locke Studies, Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, Philosophy Compass, and Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement.

I am a member of the Executive Board of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies and guest editor of a special issue on New Perspectives on Agency in Early Modern Philosophy.
