I am a first-year Masters of Philosophy (MPhil) student in International Relations at the University of Oxford. My research interests focus broadly on China's foreign and security policies, Southeast Asian regionalism, and strategic and security affairs. Prior to coming to Oxford, I attained a Bachelor of Social Sciences (First Class Honours) in Public Policy and Global Affairs from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. I also worked as a research assistant at NTU and as a research intern at the S.
