About

I am an assistant professor at Northeastern University. I received my JD from Yale Law School and I am completing a PhD in philosophy at Princeton University. I teach civil procedure, and my research centers on private law, procedure, and jurisprudence.

I graduated from Haverford College with high honors in philosophy. After college, I lived and worked in Kazakhstan, India, Uganda, Ecuador, Peru, Estonia, Austria, and Germany as a Watson Fellow, exploring the socio-political spaces occupied by children and youth growing up outside traditional family systems. I conducted similar research in Romania and Belgium as an undergraduate through the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, and in Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana as a law student. I received an MA magna cum laude in philosophy from KU Leuven.

At Yale Law School, I served as the president of First Generation Professionals. I was also a member of the Lowenstein International Human Rights Clinic, where I worked on projects that sought justice for victims of war in Bosnia, advocated for the rights of migrants in the Mediterranean region, and pursued accountability and transparency from the U.S. government concerning its family separation policies. Following law school, I clerked on the Second Circuit.

In addition to writing, teaching, and researching in philosophy and law, I spend my time walking in the mountains and kayaking with my dog, teaching my cats the ABCs, and occasionally running long distances.
