About me

As an Asian-Australian whose identity lives on both sides of the hyphen, I've always been passionate about Australia's social and political relationships with Asia. Growing up in a multicultural suburb of Sydney, it's clear that Asia is a key driving force of culture in Australia, and I'm excited to immerse myself in Asia's history and language first-hand through my exchange. In addition, as someone passionate about STEM and science education, I'm eager for the opportunity to experience Asia's revolutionary education system and learn more about the mathematics and physics research conducted overseas. Outside of my studies, I'm an avid enjoyer of all things linguistics, language learning, and creative writing!
"The Westpac Scholarship will give me an unmatched opportunity to study abroad and immerse myself in Asian culture, as well as contribute to Australia's strong relationship with Asia through my studies and research."
