She is also a Professor of Ethics and Director of the Master’s in Bioethics program at Loma Linda University. She holds a doctorate in Theology, Ethics, and Culture from Claremont Graduate University and a J.D. from Syracuse University College of Law. She is also a proud third generation alum of La Sierra University with a Bachelor’s in History and Political Science and master’s degrees in Public Health (MPH) and Bioethics (MA) from Loma Linda University. Her early research explored religion, law, and bioethics, with a particular focus on end-of-life rituals in the Jain tradition. She has transitioned to focus her research on the ethics of the beginning of life, specifically reproductive rights and the emerging legal landscape around fertility treatments and assisted reproductive technologies. In addition to her scholarship, she has produced and hosted documentary projects with HBO, Discovery, and National Geographic.
