She is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Oregon, where she also serves as co-editor of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy. Her primary research and teaching interests are in critical philosophy of race, feminist philosophy, and bioethics.

Do Gay Men Need Reproductive Justice?” in Reproductive Biomedicine & Society Online (2018), “Questions of Race in Bioethics: Deceit, Disregard, Disparity, and the Work of Decentering” in Philosophy Compass (2016), and “Eugenics” in Paul C. Taylor, Linda Martín Alcoff, and Luvell Anderson, eds., The Routledge Companion to Philosophy of Race (Routledge, 2018).
