Before joining the Philosophy and Religion Department here at Western, I spent some time as a philosophy lecturer at the University of Vermont. I'm originally from Florida (Daytona Beach area) and am thrilled to now live somewhere with mountains! When I'm not reading, teaching, writing, or listening to philosophy, I'm usually baking, eating what I've baked, or exploring outside with my pups, Gus (greyhound) and Elvis (chihuahua).
