SERVICE

Being part of a thriving community is integral to a philosophical life well-lived. As such, I take an active role in community life in its various modes.

​

I enjoy reading works in progress and helping to improve others' philosophical thinking and writing. I gladly serve as a referee for journals and publishers including Epoché, Southwest Philosophical Review, Religions, and Rowman & Littlefield. If you are interested in my referee services, please contact me. I regularly give comments and moderate panels at societies including Ancient Philosophy Society, the Boston Area Colloquium in Ancient Philosophy, and the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy. I also served as a text seminar leader at the 2025 Collegium Phaenomenologicum in Citta di Castello, Italy.

​

At Gannon, I serve on several committees, regularly participate in campus life events, and advise philosophy majors and honors students. I am a certified American Academy of Undergraduate Women Salary Negotiator to help undergraduate women learn professional self-advocacy. At Boston College, I expanded our strength in the history of philosophy to celebrate the often under-emphasized contribution that women have played in that history by conceiving of and co-founding PhilosopHERS, a series of workshops dedicated to the work of women in philosophy from Hypatia, to Gloria Anzaldua, to Edith Stein, and more.

​

I also regularly take part in local community outreach efforts, including participating in "Walk MS" events and community clean up crews.
