I am a Lecturer at the TC Beirne School of Law, where I teach Equity and Trusts. I received my PhD from the ANU in 2020. My doctoral research focused on possessory rights and interests in the deceased human body and the implications of these interests for property law theory. More broadly, my research interests lie in the law of the dead and bodily disposal, and the interactions of death with the private law.
I also hold an LLM in US Law from Washington University in St Louis as well as an LLB with Honours and an undergraduate degree in archaeology from the University of Queensland.
