I am a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Bioethics at Case Western Reserve University, and a Clinical Ethics Fellow at MetroHealth Hospital in Cleveland. I defended my Ph.D. in Philosophy in 2026 from CUNY–The Graduate Center.

My philosophical research can be divided into three strands.

The first focuses on injustices in healthcare and medicine, using feminist and care ethics perspectives. Right now, I’m working on an edited volume chapter on ethical issues around autonomy and novel weight loss drugs (e.g., Ozempic), a co-written entry on “Respectful Care” for the SAGE Encyclopedia of Reproductive Justice, and a paper outlining how Ozempic poses double binds for fat people.

The second revolves around the role of experience and emotion in social transformation. This was the subject of my dissertation, where I examined the political potential of the emotions of male and white allies.

The third responds to questions in social epistemology and philosophy of science about the value of incorporating empirical methods into normative inquiry, especially in domains like bioethics. Indeed, my dissertation pushed the disciplinary boundaries of philosophy by drawing on semi-structured in-depth interviews (borrowing methods from sociology) to focus on the affective lives and political psychology of feminist men and anti-racist white women. I am working on a paper arguing for the importance of qualitative methods in philosophy.
