She holds a JD from Yale Law School, and a PhD in Philosophy from Georgetown.

She has published work in numerous venues including Business Ethics Quarterly, Georgia Law Review (on wedding vendors and free speech rights), Philosopher’s Compass (entry on corporate moral responsibility), and the Harvard Business Law Review and University of Chicago Law Review (both on corporations and religious freedom rights).
