My primary area of research is Ancient Greek & Roman philosophy. I also have research and teaching interests in moral & political philosophy (historical and contemporary) and philosophy of education.

I am an advocate for publicly engaged philosophy and interdisciplinary collaboration. I work with campus and community partners to promote philosophical and humanistic reflection in K-12 schools, community colleges, libraries, prisons, museums, professional organizations, retirement communities, and more. I am also involved in several research projects aimed at assessing the impact of philosophy on the cultivation of intellectual and moral virtues in learners across the lifespan (see here, for example).

I received my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Pennsylvania, where I have continued to serve as a Lecturer in the Graduate School of Education. Prior to my doctoral studies, I received a BA in Philosophy and Humanities from Villanova University (2014) and completed the post-baccalaureate program in Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania (2015). I was also a visiting student in Philosophy at Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford (2013).
