After graduating from McGill with specializations in political science, philosophy, and minoring in economics, I pursued graduate studies in political and legal thought at ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´.
Building on my undergraduate thesis, which explored the history of political thought on freedom, my current research aims to ground the emergence of anti-colonial and abolitionist public international law in revolutionary political thought and lived struggles in Haiti. I’m especially interested in mapping the distinct features of biopolitics and necropolitics onto international human rights and humanitarian law.
My undergraduate publication topics have ranged from political theories of love, revolution, colonization, friendships and community, international politics and law, legal theory in cyberspace, natural philosophy of space-time, and human rights violations.
Outside my academic life, I enjoy human rights work, vitalist philosophy, old Kung Fu movies, old school and Arab Hip-Hop.

I completed my BA in Philosophy and History at Concordia University of Edmonton and am currently working on my MA in Philosophy at ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´.
My interests lie primarily in metaethics, specifically Rossian duty theory, as well as metaphysical debates concerning autonomy. My current research aims to develop and defend a secular metaphysical account of personhood to ground the importance of Rossian ethical duties. I hope to later apply this framework to applied ethical debates surrounding autonomy and personhood, with a primary focus on abortion.
