I am a Legal Political Philosopher specializing in the philosophy of punishment and feminist ethics. I am the Programme Director for the UCL MA in Legal Political Theory. I joined University College London in 2017, having previously taught political thought at the London School of Economics (Department of Government) and King's College London (Department of Philosophy). Additionally, I was a Visiting Fellow at the University of York's Morrell Centre for Legal and Political Philosophy. Prior to my academic career, I worked in the criminal justice sector and was a researcher at the Westminster Parliament. I hold a PhD from the London School of Economics, funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, where I applied care ethics to issues of criminal punishment. My educational background includes an MA in Legal & Political Theory from UCL and a BA in Economics with Honours specializing in Government from the University of Manchester. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and have received UCL Faculty Education Awards, as well as being regularly nominated for student-led UCL Choice Awards. In my leisure time, I enjoy sailing, cooking, especially baking bread, and hiking, often sharing my work in the form of #freerangephilosophy.
