I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Philosophy at McGill University and a member of the Centre for Research in Ethics (CRÉ). I completed my Ph.D at the Graduate Center, CUNY.​ I work in philosophy of psychiatry and philosophy of mind, as these intersect with bioethics, feminist philosophy, and social epistemology.

 

My research explores how the environments we inhabit – social, institutional, technological – shape emotion, agency, and self-understanding, and what this means for questions of mental health equity and justice. I focus particularly on addiction, epistemic and affective injustices related to sanism, and the normative evaluation of emerging mental health technologies, including AI tools. I am an organizing member of CRÉ-POHM, an interdisciplinary research group in philosophy of mental health.
