I am the Benjamin Rabinowitz Philosophy Chair in Medical Ethics and Associate Professor at the Program on Ethics, Department of Philosophy, University of Washington (UW). I am also an Adjunct Associate Professor at the Department of Bioethics and Humanities at the UW Medical School.
I spend most of my time working on philosophical and ethical issues associated with real-life injustices especially as they apply to public and global health and to healthcare. My publications include work on relational equality, moral distress in nursing, gendered values in the health sciences, and health inequities.
I am currently writing a book assessing which conceptions of justice best fit public health ethics and policy. Research on the book project is supported with funding from the National Institutes of Health. For future research projects, I plan to work on gendered language and LLMs and on the ethics of mental well-being.

The photo of me was taken by Cassie Hilditch at the San Francisco MOMA in Olafur Eliasson's stunning "One-way colour tunnel" (2007). The top photo is of the Quad at the University of Washington.
The University of Washington sits on the occupied homelands of the Coast Salish peoples, the land which touches the shared waters of all tribes and bands within the dxʷdəwʔabš (Duwamish), Suquamish, Tulalip, and Muckleshoot nations. I am grateful to live and work as a guest on these lands. This land acknowledgment is but one small gesture in the ongoing process of working toward repairing and sustaining relations with Coast Salish lands, waters, peoples and their other-than-human kin. I thank the UW School of Medicine for helping me to formulate this land acknowledgement.
