I am a doctoral candidate in the philosophy program at the Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY). Beginning Fall 2024, I will be Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Indiana State University.

My research areas include ethics, feminist philosophy and social epistemology, and critical philosophy of race. I am especially interested in responsibility for complex forms of wrongdoing, such as collectively perpetrated wrongs, structural injustices, and wrongs perpetrated in ignorance, particularly where ignorance stems from epistemic oppression. My latest article, “Credibility Trouble: When ‘I Believe You’ is an Epistemic Wrong,” was published in Social Epistemology, and I am currently writing a dissertation on complicity.

I am passionate about inclusive and justice-oriented philosophy teaching. As of Spring 2024, I have developed and taught twelve sections of five different courses, most of them at Baruch College (CUNY).

I hold a B.A. in philosophy from American University (2016; summa cum laude) and an M.A. in philosophy from Vanderbilt University (2018).

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, seeking out live jazz and theater, and exploring New York’s parks and gardens.
