I am a Bioethicist at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences. I am also a Research Associate in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Pretoria.
Prior to this I was a Clinical Ethics Fellow at the Center for Clinical Ethics which is housed at Unity Health Toronto. From 2021 to 2025, I was a faculty member at LCC International University in Lithuania.
​
This website is hosts my academic work, which usually falls into ethics, broadly construed. Much of it is located at the intersection of the African and Anglo-American philosophical traditions or focuses on the nature of clinical ethics consultations.
​
I am currently working two books. African Bioethics: Applications to Abortion and Euthanasia is under contract with Routlege. Clinical Ethics Consultation and Bioethical Disagreement is under contract with Palgrave Macmillan.
