An introduction.

I’m a writer, educator, and religious ethics scholar who hails from New Jersey, but has let the city of Baltimore steal her heart. I am passionate about social justice, community-based learning, and telling stories from the margins.

I did my BA at Loyola University Maryland, and completed both an MDiv (2012) and a PhD (2017) in religion and ethics at the University of Notre Dame. I then spent two years as an assistant professor at Mount St. Mary’s University (Emmitsburg, MD) before leaving to become the Director of Mission and Ministry for Mercy High School.

You can find my writing in peer reviewed journals and theology blogs. Check out some pieces I love in my portfolio. Most importantly, I have a book on the way — The Work of Inclusion: An Ethnography of Grace, Sin, and Intellectual Disability.
