My dissertation is called "Help! Not Just Anybody. Essays on Altruism and Conflicts of Interest." It is primarily in normative ethics, and aims to make progress towards a non-consequentialist account of beneficence. I also have research interests in bioethics, philosophy of action, political philosophy and feminism.

I am originally from London, and do my best to fulfil national stereotypes with a love of tea and football. (Click here for the U.S. version of this page.)
