I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Arkansas.  My research interests include moral, social, and political philosophy, and my current research focuses on moral complicity and interpersonal deliberative obligations.  I am also interested in ethics and technology, medical ethics, feminist epistemology, and issues of justice wherever they arise.  I have side interests in history of modern philosophy (particularly Leibniz) and the philosophy of religion.

Before joining the department at Arkansas, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Philosophy at Harvard University.  My responsibilities included conducting independent research, teaching, and working with the Embedded EthiCS program.

​

I completed my graduate work at UCLA.  Before starting graduate school in philosophy, I was a middle school and high school math teacher and studied education at the University of Notre Dame (M.Ed.).  As an undergraduate, I studied math and philosophy at the University of Notre Dame.

When I'm not doing philosophy, I like to play ultimate frisbee, stand up paddle board, and play board games.  If you ever want to talk Wingspan or Gloomhaven (read: Frosthaven!), assume I'm in!

In May 2025, I am co-organizing an international workshop on moral complicity at the University of Toronto's Centre for Ethics.  More information is available here: https://sites.google.com/view/moral-complicity-conference-25/home
