I’m an assistant professor of philosophy at the City College of New York and a senior fellow at the Center for Ethics and Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. During the 2015/2016 academic year, I was a Laurance S. Rockefeller Faculty Fellow at the Princeton Center for Human Values. My areas of research are philosophy of action, moral philosophy, philosophy of education, and political philosophy. I received my Ph.D. from Stanford University and my A.B. from Princeton University. I was born and grew up in Lima, Peru where I attended Colegio Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Currently, I’m working on a book on the ethical challenges faced by students from low-income and/or minority backgrounds on their path to upward mobility. I am no longer collecting stories for the book, but please do check back for updates on the project.
