About Me

A woman with long black hair, wearing a black blazer over a green floral dress, smiling, standing against a light gray background.

I am a policy researcher and writer with experience working across the government, think tank and university sectors. I am currently an Emerging Associate with the Australian National University’s National Security College, and I have previously worked in organisations including the Australian Strategic Policy Institute and Department of Defence.

I research and write about foreign policy, human rights and national security issues with a focus on Australia-South Korea relations, climate change and anti-racism.

I hold a Master of International Security from the University of Sydney specialising in Korean language and Bachelor degrees in Laws with Honours and Finance from the Australian National University. I was recognised as a Young Woman to Watch by Young Australians in International Affairs in 2024.
