I am an adjunct professor of philosophy at Houston City College. I completed my PhD from Rice University in 2025. I received my MA from Northern Illinois University and my BA from Rice University.

I work primarily in distributive justice and consequentialist ethics. Most of my work aims at describing, defending, and applying  a consequentialist prioritarianism. But I also have interests relating to death, moral responsibility, welfare, and metaethics.

I'm currently working on a version of non-ideal moral theory that makes sense of my--and, I hope, others'--intuitions about consequentialist moral duties.

I have taught classes on ethics and a general introduction to philosophy.

I've also organized and taught Rice University's Ethics and Society program, a summer enrichment course for high school students, and have served as a judge and moderator for the Houston High School Ethics Bowl.
