About

I am a visiting residential fellow at the University of Connecticut Humanities Institute. From 2011-2020, I was an assistant professor of philosophy at Utah State University. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Chicago, and my B.A. in English and Philosophy through the Schreyer Honors College at Pennsylvania State University.  

I am the 2016 recipient of the North American Kant Society’s Wilfrid Sellars Essay Prize for the best essay on Kant’s philosophy by a junior scholar.

I was recognized as the departmental Faculty Undergraduate Advisor of the Year in 2013. During my time teaching at USU, the number of undergraduate philosophy majors increased from about 25 students to nearly 70 students. I was the faculty sponsor of Utah State Society for Women in Philosophy (US-SWIP) to promote a more inclusive environment for and image of philosophical inquiry. 

I have teaching and research interests in Ethics, the History of Ethics, Aristotle, Kant, Feminist Philosophy, Philosophy of Action, and Ancient Philosophy.
