I am an Assistant Professor of Philosophy and, by courtesy, of Law at Stanford University. My book, Speaking for Others: The Ethics of Informal Political Representation, was published by Harvard University Press on July 9, 2024 and has been awarded the 2024 Apostolos P. Stefanopoulos Book Prize. Learn more about Speaking for Others on Ethics Untangled, New Books in Philosophy, Philosophy Talk, and The Stanford Report.

My research is in political philosophy, philosophy of race, and philosophy of law, and intersects with questions in moral philosophy and feminist philosophy. This research has been generously supported by ​the American Council of Learned Societies, the Clayman Institute for Gender Research, the ConceptLab, a Stanford Humanities Seed Grant, and the Stanford Humanities Center.

I received my Ph.D. in Philosophy from Harvard University, my J.D. from Stanford Law School, and my B.A. in Philosophy and Africana Studies from New York University. I have served as a law clerk to the Honorable Judge Rosemary Barkett and the Honorable Judge Adalberto Jordan on the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit in Miami, Florida, and as legal advisor to Judge Barkett on the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague.

In April 2024, I received the Phi Beta Kappa Northern California Association Teaching Excellence Award.
