I am an assistant professor in the Department of Philosophy at Florida International University. My academic research lies at the intersection of feminist philosophy, the philosophy of race, and twentieth-century French and German philosophy. My broader interests include Stoicism, Buddhist philosophy, and psychology.
Inspired by the idea of philosophy as a way of life, I seek to write and teach about timely topics with the aim of showing how philosophical reflection can help us lead flourishing lives. I have published on beauty trends, such as the thigh gap obsession, on the experience of mixed-race individuals, and on the pioneering feminist author Simone de Beauvoir. My essays for a general audience have appeared in Medium, Notre Dame's Philosophy as a Way of Life blog, and other venues.
I am also an APPA-certified Philosophical Counselor.
Before arriving at FIU, I completed my B.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard University.
