Halito!

I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Philosophy and Religion at Northeastern University. I am also the Associate Director for the Humanities Center at Northeastern University. I received my Ph.D in philosophy from Boston University in 2019. I received my M.A in philosophy from Georgia State University in 2012, and my B.A. in History from Winona State University in 2009. 

My research to date has focused on topics in 18th century European philosophy and the history of ethics. I have published on Sophie de Grouchy, Adam Smith, David Hume, Catharine Trotter Cockburn, and John Gay. I coordinate the Hume Society meetings at the Central APA and am the Book Reviews Editor for the Journal of Scottish Philosophy. I also teach and write on Native American and Indigenous Philosophy. I sit on the APA’s Committee on Native American and Indigenous Philosophers and am currently drafting a co-authored manuscript for Hackett Publishing, tentatively titled An Introduction to Indigenous Philosophy, with Joey Miller (Mvskoke), Shelbi Nahwilet Meissner (Luiseño & Cupeño), and Janella Baxter (Choctaw).

Outside of philosophy, I spend time listening to and writing about music, attending shows, watching movies, and connecting with friends and loved ones. I’m an enrolled member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
