Hello! I am a PhD candidate and SSHRC doctoral fellow at the Department of Philosophy and Joint Centre for Bioethics at the University of Toronto, and a Massey College Junior Fellow. I have a Bachelors degree in International Relations from the University of Toronto, during which I focused on global health governance.
My current research focuses on how choice architecture can combat irrationality in medical decision-making. A central topic of my work is that the autonomy of a choice is not determined by the nature of the options, rather by how the decision-making environment is constructed.
Beyond my dissertation work in clinical bioethics, I am interested in public health ethics, especially issues related to patient advocacy for immigrant and minority communities. I've been highly committed to interdisciplinary ethics education. From 2024-2026 I served as a board member on the University of Toronto’s Health Sciences Research Ethics Board, and I am an ethicist facilitator for the Temerty Faculty of Medicine’s Ethics and Professionalism seminars.
Recently, I had the pleasure of being interviewed for the APA blog :)
