I am currently a PhD Candidate at Vanderbilt University. I work primarily in ethics and bioethics. I am particularly interested in the topics of trust, friendship, cooperation, and narrative. 

​

At Vanderbilt, I currently serve as a co-chair for our 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).
