About Me

I am an assistant professor of philosophy at Daemen University. I primarily teach courses in medical ethics and medical humanities. I also teach courses on the philosophy of gender and sexuality, especially in religious and medical contexts.  
  
I completed my MA in philosophy at Arizona State University and then went on to finish my PhD in philosophy at Boston University. My dissertation was on how social identities affect our obligation to resist oppression. I've continued to publish on the extent to which categories and identities are socially constructed while also working on how marginalized communities access healthcare resources.  

​When I’m not doing philosophy, I’m swimming, running (clumsily), trying new recipes, and watching embarrassingly bad monster movies.
