I am an affiliated researcher and lecturer at the Environmental Sciences and Humanities Institute. My research lies at the intersection of animal ethics, care ethics, and moral psychology. I have been interested in the various aspects of ethics for many years. After writing an MA thesis in animal ethics at the University of Geneva, I obtained a doctorate (PhD) in moral philosophy at the University of Fribourg in 2022. I then completed a postdoctoral fellowship in didactics of ethics at the Haute école pédagogique Vaud. My current research focuses on issues of animal ethics (equine ethics, euthanasia decision-making, caring relations between humans and animals (e.g., friendship, power asymmetry, work). I teach seminars in environmental ethics, animal ethics and the ethics of sustainability. 

I was awarded, with my co-author Friederike Zenker, the Karen Dalke Prize for excellence in early-career equine research at the Equine Cultures in Transition international conference held at Manchester Metropolitan University, in June 2025.My research and writings on equine ethics and equine philosophy can be found on https://www.horse-intricacies.com.
