Clinical Ethics Fellow, Department of Family & Community Medicine, University of Toronto

I am a Clinical Ethics Fellow in the Department of Family and Community Medicine at the University of Toronto. My research and teaching focus on public health ethics related to pandemics, including COVID-19 and HIV/AIDS, as well as other topics in applied ethics, bioethics, and social and political philosophy. I completed my Ph.D. in Philosophy at York University and I was a Postdoctoral Associate at Western University in the Rotman Institute of Philosophy and the School of Health Studies and a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Victoria in the School of Public Health and Social Policy. I have published articles in several academic journals as well as the Conversation Canada (republished in the National Post and the Vancouver Sun), the Winnipeg Free Press, and Ricochet and I have presented my research at numerous professional academic conferences.
