My primary area of research interest is in ethical theory and moral psychology. Much of my previous work focused on the puzzles surrounding deontological constraints. My current focus is on the role of moral emotions in our moral practice. I also regularly collaborate with a co-author on a number of applied ethical topics, primarily in medical ethics. 

In addition to my position in Philosophy, I am Assistant Director of Leadership Studies. My work here includes helping to coordinate a new major in Leadership (pending ODHE approval), as well as the development of programming and internships.

In my previous position, I was Director of Ethics and Leadership at the University of Dayton, where I developed an Undergraduate Certificate, as well as a Summer Internship Program.
