I am an associate professor in the Biomedical Ethics Unit, with appointments in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Occupational Health and the Max Bell School for Public Policy. I study public health policy, ethics, and epistemology, and direct the Policy and Data Science Program.
I am passionate about teaching, doing work that makes a difference in the world, learning new things, and working with colleagues across the university. I am equally passionate about maintaining a work-life balance that allows me to spend time with family and pursue interests outside of work, including playing the bass and rock climbing.
Mentorship matters to me because I know that academia can be a lonely and isolating experience, and that it's important to have someone in your corner helping look out for your best interests. I think that my greatest value as a mentor is offering an 'outsider's' perspective that is sympathetic, knowledgeable, and focused on promoting well-being.
