Jessica is a philosopher working in medicine, conservation and indigenous philosophical perspectives across epistemology, ethics, and political philosophy. Her current research concerns the ethical, political and economic dimensions of using real-world health data in research and development; justice-based issues in planetary health, an emerging field which aims to safeguard both human health and the natural systems underpinning it; and indigenous philosophical perspectives on the environment and land rights in Papua New Guinea.

Alongside her philosophical work, Jessica is also a professional photographer who works on long term reportage and documentary projects linked to her research. She has exhibited her work in international settings including London, Montreal and Düsseldorf.
