About me

I am currently a dual degree Master of Public Administration candidate at the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, focusing on Economic & Political Development and Data Analytics, and a Master of Public Policy candidate at the Hertie School in Berlin, Germany. I am also a Salzburg Global Fellow, as a part of the Public Policy New Voices Europe programme.

I previously worked as a Consultant with the WHO Regional Office for Europe, leading and managing a project surveying population salt consumption across the WHO European Region. I was also a Research Fellow at the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health (MSPGH), where I undertook research in disaster resilience and recovery, climate change and health, and COVID-19. I also held teaching responsibilities in three different subjects across both the Master of Public Health and Doctor of Medicine programmes. Additionally, I worked as a Policy Analyst at CPC Analytics, a policy consultancy firm based between Berlin and Pune, undertaking research and consulting projects on global health and development issues.

Professionally, I am passionate about health policy and governance, international development, noncommunicable diseases, the political economy of health, and sustainable food systems. Personally, I am a keen photographer, a concert organist, and an aspiring polyglot. I speak Cantonese, Mandarin, and English; and have studied to varying degrees German, Russian, and Danish previously.
