I've been at Cal State LA since 2007. My BA is from Vassar College (1995), and my PhD is from Stony Brook University (2003). I specialize in Phenomenology and Husserl Scholarship, with research interests in Modern Philosophy and Philosophy of Mind. I regularly teach PHIL 1510 Thought and Reality, PHIL 1520 Human Values, PHIL 4450 Existentialism, and PHIL 4460 Phenomenology; as well as related graduate-level courses. I am also the faculty advisor to Philosophy in Practice, our department's student-run journal.
