I work in epistemology, moral psychology, and applied ethics. Much of my work centers on parallels between the epistemic and the practical. I received my PhD in philosophy at Ohio State University, under the supervision of Declan Smithies. In my dissertation I argue that even though we lack direct control over our beliefs, we can still be blameworthy for them. 

I teach a variety of courses, with a special emphasis on Bioethics and Medical Ethics. I recently joined the University of Wyoming's medical school (WWAMI) as the director of Themes in Medicine- I oversee and teach in the ethics curriculum for first and second-year med students.  And this fall I'm excited to teach a new course at the University of Wyoming - Philosophy of Mental Health.
