ABOUT
I was born in 1989 in Toronto, Canada.
In 2008 I began my university career at Queen’s University. However, in 2010, I took two years off to travel, work abroad, and (much to my surprise) develop a deep thirst for knowledge. So, in 2012, I went back to school.

Between 2012 and 2016 I earned a BA (Honours) in Philosophy and Drama, and an MA in Cultural Studies from Queen’s University. I won the Pall Ardal Prize in Moral Philosophy, the Alfred Bader Graduate Fellowship in the Humanities, and received a SSHRC–CGS scholarship for my MA.
Since beginning my PhD, I have won a SSHRC Joseph-Armand Bombardier (CGS) Doctoral Scholarship (2017-2020), the Henry Mandelbaum Doctoral Graduate Fellowship (2018), and placed in the Top 5 of the SSHRC Storytellers competition (2018).
During 2017/2018 I was a visiting graduate student in the Department for the Study of Religion at the University of Toronto, and during the 2019 Lent term I was a visiting graduate student in the Faculty of Divinity at Cambridge University, and a visiting scholar at the Woolf Institute.
My scholarship is thoroughly interdisciplinary, drawing from both philosophy and the social sciences. I am particularly interested in reviving a novel version of what Robert Bellah once called “social science as public philosophy” whereby normative and empirical analyses are intimately interwoven.
I have published academic articles in journals such as Journal of Contemporary Religion and Studies in Religion, and regularly contribute to media outlets such as The Conversation and Areo.
I live in Toronto with my partner, Chantel, and my two dogs, Mick and Lily.
