Hello. I am an Assistant Professor at Lehigh University’s College of Health. I am a philosopher and mixed-methods researcher specializing in ethics, philosophy of disability, philosophy of medicine, and bioethics.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA’s David Geffen School of Medicine in the Department of Medicine. I worked with The Feinsinger Lab.

Beyond my academic life, I enjoy contemporary literature, traveling, and long walks with my family and friends.

I once fostered a dog who turned out to be pregnant. So, I ended up fostering nine dogs for four months in my downtown LA apartment. I kept one of the puppies, who is now my much-loved pal Bowie pictured here.

On May 13, 2020, I gave birth to my daughter, Etta. She’s the best.
