I am a lecturer at Rice University in the Department of Philosophy. Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Associate in Ethics of Technology at the Humanities Research Center. I completed my PhD in Philosophy at the University of Texas at Austin in Spring 2022. 

My research investigates how our emotions contribute to practical reasoning, how we should manage our emotions and the emotions of other people, and issues in applied ethics that arise from using artificial intelligence for emotional labor. 

Teaching is important part of my academic life. In my courses, I approach philosophy as a collaborative activity that my students and I do together in pursuit of our own reasons for our philosophical views.
