I am a philosophy PhD student at Arizona State University.

My research centers around questions of disability and ethics/political philosophy. My areas of specialty are Philosophy of Disability, Bioethics, and Applied Ethics.

I am currently working on my dissertation, which is on disability accessibility. I am very interested in questions of access and diversity. I think about the ADA a lot.

This site also contains some of my community work, which may be interesting to academics and non-academics. I am extremely interested in creating disability access that goes beyond compliance and uses creative, community-driven ideas.

This website currently centers on my academic and access-related work. I also like creative writing, hiking, and colors, but so far I haven’t added much of that here.
