I am a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. I work in moral and political philosophy.
I received my PhD from the NYU Department of Philosophy in 2025. I did my undergraduate degree in politics at the University of Virginia followed by an MPhil in political theory from Oxford. Before coming to NYU I was special advisor for opioid policy / acting director of opioid overdose prevention at the Baltimore City Health Department.
