Hi there! I am a scholar with an interdisciplinary research background in medieval Christian thought, liberation theologies, queer theory, and critical theory. My interests are varied, covering the uses of the past, the status of theology in the university, theology as an act of wonder, neo-coloniality, imagination, eroticism as historical method, and our experiences of ruins.
I enjoy conferences in new places, especially international ones where I get to meet people from across the world, present and exchange ideas, and to learn about academia and scholarship done outside the North American context. I have presented work in Costa Rica, El Salvador, University of Oxford, and the Sorbonne, in addition to a variety of places across the United States.
I am located in Chicago, having completed my doctoral work at Loyola University Chicago in 2025. I can usually be found at a coffee shop or craft brewery in my free time, and I have come to enjoy a few evenings of Magic: The Gathering. I am also leading a book club called Books, Bites & Buzz. See what we’re reading starting this January!
