At Oakland University, I teach ethics, ethics for future healthcare professionals, clinical ethics, public health ethics, philosophy of law, logic, and disability studies. I am the director of the bioethics program, faculty advisor for the philosophy major/minor and bioethics minor, and coordinator of the PHL curriculum committee.

Prior to beginning at OU in 2022, I was a postdoc at Princeton University’s Center for Human Values and Georgetown University’s Kennedy Institute of Ethics. I received my PhD in philosophy in 2018 from USC, with a dissertation on moral responsibility advised by Jon Quong, Gary Watson, Steve Finlay, and Dave Shoemaker.

My research focuses on agency and moral responsibility, disability, and philosophy of death. I am currently writing a book advocating for the adoption of a neurodiversity paradigm in theorizing about moral responsibility and the ethics of blame.

I love to teach and maintain a serious interest in philosophy pedagogy, especially in regards to teaching philosophy’s transferable skills. I have piloted several programs aimed at innovation in this area, including a grant-funded program embedding philosophical ethics in the computer science major at Georgetown.
