I am currently a Lecturer at Bentley University where I teach courses in Ethics and History of Philosophy. My primary research areas are ethics and bioethics, and I am particularly interested in the topics of trust, friendship, cooperation, and narrative. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I am also a faculty member of Bentley's Tri-Alpha Honors Society for first-generation college students, where I am currently working with my colleagues to pilot a mentorship program. 

​

While completing my PhD at Vanderbilt, I served as a co-chair for Vanderbilt's chapter of Minorities and Philosophy (MAP), as a coach for our regional-champion undergraduate APPE Ethics Bowl Team, and as president of the Philosophy Student Government Association (PGSA). During graduate school I was also a Curb Center Public Scholar and Fellow at Vanderbilt's Center for Teaching, where I facilitated a seminar on pedagogical theory and teaching assistant orientation for graduate students and post-docs.
