I did a B.A. at Johns Hopkins (philosophy, cognitive science) and co-founded a tech-politics startup before doing a Ph.D. at Princeton.

I've taught philosophy at Penn since 2015, and have been a Teaching Fellow in Penn's Integrated Studies Program since 2017. I have taught courses at Penn on early modern philosophy, speech acts, philosophy of love and sexuality, philosophy of social science, and philosophy of science. I've also taught philosophy and literature at a youth correctional facility.

I am Professor of Philosophy and Education at the University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on early modern philosophy, including the history of philosophy of science, the history and philosophy of education, and women in the history of philosophy. I have published on a wide range of figures, including Astell, Cavendish, Conway, Descartes, Du Châtelet, Hobbes, Leibniz, Malebranche, and Wolff, covering topics in metaphysics, the natural sciences, ethics and political philosophy.
