I am a historian of U.S. medicine, science, and health. My first book, Monstrous Conceptions: A History of Race, Disability, and Reproductive Medicine in the United States (Columbia University Press, 2026), explores the troubled history of “monstrous birth” as a category in modern medical science, revealing how historical practices produced enduring ideas about human difference. My writing appears in journals such as Bulletin of the History of Medicine, The Lancet, Isis, Gender & History, New Genetics and Society, and Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva.

I am currently an assistant professor at UTMB (Department of Bioethics and Health Humanities), where I hold the James Wade Rockwell Professorship in Philosophy of Medicine. Previously, I was a postdoctoral fellow in the Dartmouth Society of Fellows and taught as a lecturer at Yale University (History Department/School of Medicine). I received my PhD in history of science from Harvard University.
