Biography

I thought I wanted to be a physical therapist, and so earned a BS in biology from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, Missouri. But tissues and ligaments got boring, so I switched to philosophy. I then earned my MA from the University of Missouri – St. Louis in 2016 and my Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis in 2023. I joined Marian happily in 2023.
