I am a postgraduate scholar pursuing an MA in Philosophy at Queen’s University Belfast. My academic interests lie at the intersection of philosophy of mind, phenomenology and social epistemology. I approach these areas with a strong commitment to interdisciplinary research, critical analysis, and public engagement. My BA (Hons) in Philosophy, also from Queen’s University Belfast, was awarded in 2024. My undergraduate dissertation “Kindred Spirits: A Comparative Analysis of the Similarities between Anton Wilhelm Amo and Plotinus Through the Sensitive Soul and Principle of Life in the Spirit-Soul-Body Relationship” received a Philosophy Dissertation Prize.
I am deeply involved in academic event organisation and have coordinated numerous conferences and seminar series. These include:

- Spring Dialogues Seminar Series
- Career Day for HAPP School
- "Philosophy Matters” Panel Discussion

As Events Coordinator for the British Postgraduate Philosophy Association (BPPA), I facilitate opportunities for postgraduate students across the UK to engage in dialogue and knowledge exchange. Beyond my own studies, I am passionate about philosophical outreach and pedagogy. I have worked as a Philosophy for Children (P4C) facilitator, leading sessions with young students in primary schools including Holy Cross Boys’ Primary School in Belfast, and through research programmes such as the Critical Minds Club (QUB) and Thinking Changes Project. I’ve also pursued classical training through the London Summer School in Classics (UCL) in Latin. In recognition of my contributions to ethical education and gender advocacy, I received the Soroptimist International Educate to Lead Award.
Within Queen’s, I am committed to student representation. I currently serve as:
- Postgraduate School Representative
- Student Member of the University Academic Board
- Student Representative on the School’s Athena SWAN Committee
- Member of the SU Council and Chair of Student Voice Committees
I have delivered papers at several university and national conferences, including:
