I received a first class honours in BA Politics and Chinese from SOAS (School of Asian and African Studies) in London. I am very eager in pursuing a long-term career in journalism.

In August 2014, I completed an intensive journalism course at London School of Journalism (LSJ) where we covered online publishing, court reporting, feature writing, reviews and news.

I was born and grew up in Hong Kong for 18 years, where I learnt to speak both Cantonese and Mandarin, with a touch of Spanish.

I have written quarterly white papers for Pacific Strategies & Assessments (PSA) for the Shanghai bureau; focusing on current East Asian politics.

I'm also a keen contributor to Hong Kong's South China Morning Post, Shoutout UK and International Political Forum (IPF).

In September 2014, I set up a society at my university, IPEMA (Indigenous People & Ethnic Minorities Awareness Society), which exposing threats these communities face that are often under-represented by the mainstream media.
