An introduction.
I’m a writer, research analyst, 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 pursue new adventures. Today, I work as a research analyst with Catholic Relief Services, drawing on my background with action research and program evaluation to support their movement-building work.
You can find my writing in peer reviewed journals and theology blogs. Check out some pieces I love in my portfolio. Last year I published my ethnographic book, The Work of Inclusion: An Ethnography of Grace, Sin, and Intellectual Disability.
