I have a PhD from Philosophy Department Villanova University. I am interested in forming a feminist understanding of the self, lived body, and gender identity beyond the gender binary. For my dissertation project, I rework Sigmund Freud’s concept of narcissism and bring psychoanalysis and phenomenology together to offer a new relational understanding of gender identity and the gendered self.

I currently live in Philadelphia and am a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor at the Augustine and Culture Seminar Program at Villanova University.
