I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Bioethics at Kansas City University.

Prior to joining KCU, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health. Before that, I completed a PhD in Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh.

My research is primarily in bioethics and normative ethics.

I teach classes in bioethics, normative ethics, the history of philosophy, and social/political philosophy.
