Bio
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scholar in the Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies working in the NeuroComputational Ethics Research Group. I completed my Ph.D. in Ethical and Social Thought at Virginia Tech in 2021, and have since published on subjects such as psychiatric ethics and telehealth. My research primarily focuses on the intersections between moral discourse, care ethics, and mental health.
