Hi! I’m a Ph.D Candidate in Philosophy at the New School for Social Research in New York.

I’m interested in how social theory can be used as a tool to examine difficult political issues and contradictions. At its best, philosophy is a practice of thinking that can help in building better worlds.

My research is on topics that emerge in Feminist Philosophy and Critical Philosophy of Race, but I also like to think about these topics through a Post-Structuralism and Critical Theory lens. Specifically, I’m working on the topic of narrative as a form of political critique in women of color feminisms. How does storytelling make intelligible identity over time? Or a collectivity? And can it, or should it, mobilize political critique?

I’ve taught at the New School and Fordham University. I have been a Mellon Dissertation Fellow, and Onassis Foundation Fellow. I also love to bike, read novels, and go to the beach.
