About

I am a passionate, hard-working and resilient individual who loves to learn and build connections. I firmly believe in promoting diversity, leading with empathy, and bringing joy to my community however possible.

I am currently in my first year of a dual degree in Arts and Social Science (Majors in Peace and Conflict Studies; Health and Policy; Minor in English Literature) at the University of Queensland, aiming to pursue a career in social work, grassroots politics, or post-conflict peacebuilding. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing and editing with collaborators from around the world, and deep-diving on anything and everything!!
