I work in ethics and social philosophy. I research the philosophy of need and felt necessity, the moral emotions of humanitarianism, the normative philosophy of social critique, and trans philosophy.

I am a PhD candidate (ABD) and Forrest S. Crawford Fellow at the Rock Ethics Institute (2024—2025) at the Philosophy department at Penn State University. 2023—2025, I am a research associate at the Centre for Ethics at the University of Toronto. 2024—2025, I am a visiting student at the University of Guelph.

I am one of two graduate assistants for the Society for Phenomenology and Existential Philosophy (SPEP), and I am a member of APA Eastern Division.

I completed my BA (Hons.) in Philosophy at the University of Toronto.

I'm a lifelong athlete, having played semi-pro soccer in early adulthood, and transitioned into bouldering and lifting now. Everywhere I've lived I've had a fermentation station, featuring kombucha, tempeh, sourdough, lacto-ferments of various kinds, and cheese. I am rarely more excited than when I spot a morel.
