I am an assistant professor of systematic theology at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary and School of Theology in Cincinnati, OH, and the managing editor for Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews. Prior to joining MTSM, I taught in the Great Texts Program at Baylor University. In 2018-19, I was a Fulbright Scholar in philosophy at the University of Bonn.

My academic work is mainly in ancient and late antique philosophy, philosophical theology, and theological ethics. I wrote my dissertation on Gregory of Nyssa’s philosophy of evil. My current project explores moral formation in early and medieval Christian philosophy, especially Gregory’s account of “self-possession” and the idea, rooted in Plato’s Republic, that “virtue is without a master.”
