I think, teach, and write about the intersection of religion and political thought. I am fascinated by how religious commitments are shaped by and shape political ideas throughout the history of philosophy, and how these complex intellectual traditions continue to influence debates in contemporary public life. In my academic research, I write about American and European religious and philosophical thought, with attention to theology, democracy, justice, and race.

Beginning August 2026, I am Assistant Professor of Theology, Ethics, and Politics at the Honors College at Baylor University in Waco, Texas. In May 2026, I graduated with a PhD from Princeton University in Religion and the Program in Political Philosophy, where I wrote a dissertation defending a new interpretation of Martin Luther King Jr.'s political ethics. Before that, I worked and lived in Chicago, and before that, I earned a B.A. in Philosophy and Early Christian Studies from Wheaton College.
