I’m currently a Visiting Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pittsburgh. I recently received my Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh in Philosophy and the Joint Graduate Program in Classics, Philosophy, and Ancient Science. And before that, I received my M.A. from the University of Toronto in Philosophy and the Collaborative Program in Ancient and Medieval Philosophy.

My research mostly concerns ancient philosophy, particularly issues relating to friendship, self-love, and desire in Aristotle and the Hellenistics. But I’m generally interested in the way philosophy can inform our views of ourselves and our relations to others; and I enjoy thinking about and teaching a wide range of issues in ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of action, and medieval philosophy.
