I am an early modern philosopher.

 

​I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Extending New Narratives in the History of Philosophy at McGill University. Prior to this, I was an Anderson Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Sydney in 2022.

​

I am also an external member for the Academy of Finland funded project "Gender in Renaissance and Early Modern Philosophy", led by Martina Reuter at the University of Jyväskylä (2022—2026).

 

​I received my PhD in Philosophy from the University of Sydney in December 2021. ​

 

My research in early modern philosophy principally focuses on the philosophy of David Hume and Catharine Macaulay. I am particularly interested in early modern conceptions of social cognition and childhood development. ​
