I am an assistant professor of philosophy at Rice University. I work on ethics and political philosophy, including well-being; my book The Well-Rounded Life is under contract with Princeton University Press. I also have related interests in feminist philosophy, philosophy of law, and the history of ethics and political philosophy.

Before coming to Rice, I taught at Oberlin College, Rhode Island College, and UNC Chapel Hill. I received my doctorate from UC San Diego in October 2015—and before that, I grew up in Oregon, received a BA in philosophy and government from Claremont McKenna College, and did a brief stint at a software company in the Midwest.
