About

I am an Instructor of Philosophy and Religion at the University of South Carolina, Aiken, and I hold a PhD in Analytic Theology from the University of St Andrews in St. Andrews, Scotland. My work integrates insights from theology, philosophy, and ethics. My PhD focused on a medieval philosopher, Anselm of Canterbury (pictured below), and how his views on evil and sin contribute to contemporary analytic and philosophical theology. More generally, my research addresses the nature of good, evil, and everything in between. Be sure to check out my research page for more on my current projects.
