My main research and teaching interests are in ancient philosophy, ethics, and the 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 other community spaces. 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.

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 spent a year as post-baccalaureate student in Classical Studies at the University of Pennsylvania (2015). I was also a visiting student in philosophy at Blackfriars Hall, University of Oxford (2013).
