01 About
I study how geopolitics moves markets — and spend my time building bridges between the cultures that shape them.
I'm a Master of Global Affairs candidate at the University of Toronto, focused on global markets and global security. Before Toronto, I spent six years at Airbnb across regulatory compliance and CS innovation for APAC and mainland China.
China has been a constant thread — from a management internship in Hebei to leading youth delegations across the country. I hold a BSocSc (Magna Cum Laude) from SMU and an MBA from Quantic, and I see my role as an interlocutor of values and ideas between East and West.
