Meet our scholars

Growing up in Western Sydney, I have always been shaped by the talent, resilience, and cultural diversity of my community. Living in Japan for 16 months, I learned that these communal attributes are exactly what connect Australia to the Asia-Pacific region on a people-to-people and business level. I am currently studying a Bachelor of Laws and International Studies at Western Sydney University while working at Ashurst, an international private law firm with a strong presence across Asia and longstanding relationships with major Asian clients. I have developed a keen interest in the intersection of law and international trade and I am excited to build a career in this space, whether in private practice or public service. I am passionate about strengthening two-way investment between Australia and Asia and the role law plays in building trusted, sustainable cross-border partnerships. Outside of these ambitions, I enjoy sending hand-written letters home to friends and family during my travels and playing social basketball.
