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, is forthcoming in 2026 with Columbia University Press. My writing appears in academic journals including Bulletin of the History of Medicine, Isis, The Lancet, Gender & History, and Revista Ciência & Saúde Coletiva. I received my PhD in history of science from Harvard University.

I am the James Wade Rockwell Assistant Professor in the Philosophy of Medicine at the Institute for Bioethics & Health Humanities at UTMB. Previously, I taught as a lecturer in the History Departments at Yale University and 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, concepts of race in science and medicine, citizenship and public health, gender and women’s health, disability, medicine and imperialism, and environmental health.
