I am an Assistant Professor in the Legal Studies & Business Ethics Department in the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. I'm also an associated faculty member in the Philosophy Department at Penn. Previously I was a Bersoff Faculty Fellow in the Philosophy Department at NYU. I received my Ph.D. in philosophy from MIT in 2024.

Before graduate school, I was a pre-doctoral fellow in the Clinical Center Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health. I completed my undergraduate degree at Wellesley College in philosophy and biology.

My research is primarily in normative ethics. I am especially interested in how we should (and shouldn't) influence each other's behavior and in the nature of our non-interference rights. Thus I have written on topics such as manipulation, paternalism, and autonomy. I also write about issues in bioethics, and I co-host a bioethics podcast called Bio(un)ethical.

Here's how I pronounce my name.
