About Me

I am an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Daemen University. 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 primarily works on how marginalized communities access healthcare resources, what it means to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, how cultural narratives around marginalized identities affect individuals’ well-being, and how religious values (especially from Natural Law theory) inhibit or enhance LGBTQ+ flourishing.  

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