Biography

I’m an accessibility specialist in Disability and Access, co-located with the Academic Success Center. I recently joined the team in July 2025, and I look forward to learning more about St. Olaf and life on campus for Oles!

I graduated from Bemidji State University in 2022 with a BS in Psychology and a BA in Philosophy. I was able to research (dis)ableism through a social psychology lens, presenting at conferences with my professor and research partner, Dr. Thomas Dirth. 

I am currently a graduate student at the University of Toledo, expected to graduate this spring with my Master’s in Philosophy and a graduate certificate in Disability Studies. Most of my work centers around necropolitics, disability justice, and reading ‘traditional’ philosophers through a critical disability studies lens.

Outside of academics and work, I enjoy caring for my 150+ houseplants, fiber arts (crochet, cross stitch, etc), and spending time outside with my dog Lily!
