I am a historian of U.S. medicine and science, with a particular interest in the historical contexts of reproduction, health, and social inequities. My first book, Monstrous Conceptions: A History of Race, Disability, and Reproductive Medicine in the United States is forthcoming in 2026 with Columbia University Press. My writing appears in academic journals including Bulletin of the History of Medicine, The American Journal of Bioethics, Isis, The Lancet, Gender & History, New Genetics and Society, Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva, and Ethology. I received my PhD in History of Science from Harvard University.

I am currently the James Wade Rockwell Assistant Professor in the Philosophy of Medicine at the Institute for Bioethics & Health Humanities at UTMB, where I teach in the PhD and MA programs. Previously, I taught as a lecturer in History of Medicine at Yale University and in the History Department at Dartmouth College, and was a postdoctoral fellow in the Dartmouth Society of Fellows. I also worked as a historical research consultant for Yale’s SEICHE Center for Health and Justice. My teaching spans topics in U.S. history and global health humanities, including reproductive health, health and incarceration, citizenship and public health, disability, gender and women’s health, concepts of race in science and medicine, medicine and colonialism, and environmental health.
