I am a cultural and medical anthropologist specializing in gender, governance, and reproductive rights in Europe, with a focus on Poland, Ireland, and EU policies. My book, The Politics of Morality (2015), explores these themes and received the Adele E. Clarke Book Award.

My research, funded by organizations such as WHO and the European Research Council, examines access to abortion care, cross-border reproductive healthcare, and barriers to sexual minority youth healthcare in Florida.

Beyond research, I’m passionate about mentoring students and fostering critical inquiry.
