I am an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy Department at the College at Brockport, SUNY. My research focuses on Ancient Philosophy, Ethical Theory and Practical Ethics (primarily bioethics), and especially on topics at the intersections of these. My current research projects include the role of luck in Aristotle’s ethics, a biological explanation of Aristotle’s account of catharsis, and anonymity. I also have an ongoing project I call “The Diotima Project,” which explores the contributions women have made to the history of philosophy through the male philosophers they knew.

I am the advisor to the Brockport Philosophy Club, and the faculty founder and advisor for “The Mind’s Eye,” Brockport’s undergraduate philosophy journal. I am also the Department University Senate Representative. I am available as Faculty Advisor for Philosophy Majors and Minors at SUNY Brockport.

I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Western Ontario in 2007. Prior to that, I completed the MA Program in Philosophy at the University of Toronto (concurrently with the Collaborative Program in Bioethics). Before joining the philosophy department at SUNY Brockport, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin (Oshkosh).
