I am a PhD candidate in the Foundations of Animal Sentience (ASENT) Project at the LSE (Philosophy). My supervisors are Jonathan Birch and Ali Boyle. 

​​

My PhD "Rethinking the foundations of animal welfare science" is in philosophy of animal welfare science, which draws on both philosophy of science and philosophy of well-being. I did my MSc at the University of Exeter in Animal Behaviour (Psychology) and my BSc at the University of Plymouth in Animal Behaviour and Welfare (Biological Sciences). I work closely with the animal welfare science community, and my research project is directed towards the discipline functioning better, both epistemically and ethically. 

​​

I'm interested in and engage with philosophy of mind, environmental ethics, the literature on values in science, philosophy of psychology and the animal sciences. 

​

My work sits in the broader context of questions about the extent of sentience across the animal kingdom, what a proliferation of sentience means for our obligations to other sentient beings, and the resulting requirements for just and peaceful interspecies relationships.
