Hi there! I’m Jen Zamzow, a healthcare ethicist, freelance writer, and mom to two energetic boys and an equally energetic golden retriever. I hold a PhD in philosophy with a minor in cognitive science from the University of Arizona and completed a post-doctoral fellowship in the Center for Ethics and Policy at Carnegie Mellon University. I am currently an adjunct professor of healthcare ethics at Concordia University Irvine.
I also write about mental health, wellbeing, parenting, and social issues for publications such as The Washington Post, CNBC, Insider, Fortune, Good Housekeeping, Success, Sojourners, Common Good Magazine, Psychology Today, and my Substack “A Well-Lived Life.”
My current reporting on the dignity of human caregiving in an increasingly automated, efficiency-driven world is supported in part by a media grant from The Greater Good Science Center.
