Biography
I'm a doctoral candidate in philosophy with interests in philosophy of science, bioethics, and the philosophy of medicine. My research is in the philosophy of aging and relates to ethical and epistemic implications of advances in geroscience.
Outside of my dissertation, I co-lead the UW Graduate Aging Group with Sarah McKiddy (PhD candidate, School of Nursing). In addition, I am a research associate with the UW Neuroethics Research Group and work locally as an internal medicine physician.
