I am a PhD candidate at the Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation (IHPME) at the University of Toronto. Drawing on perspectives from the interdisciplinary field of Science and Technology Studies (STS), my work addresses the ethics, policy, and governance of data-intensive health innovation.

My doctoral dissertation, funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Doctoral Fellowship and a Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR) AI for Public Health doctoral award, is a multi-year ‘embedded’ ethics and policy study, occurring alongside and informing the work of a hospital-based AI development team commercializing their technology through a start-up.

Prior to joining IHPME I worked in various research roles at Toronto-based universities and research institutes, and founded Huddle, a design research studio focused on collaborative approaches to equitable innovation, and Connect, an award-winning new media consultancy focused on social advocacy and civic engagement. More recently I have held policy research and advisory roles within the Ontario Ministry of Health, Women’s College Hospital, and the University of Toronto.

My work has been published in leading interdisciplinary venues including Big Data & Society, Science and Engineering Ethics, the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency (FAccT), and the AAAI/ACM Conference on AI, Ethics, and Society (AIES).

I hold a Bachelor of Arts from Toronto Metropolitan University, and Master of Science from the University of Toronto.
