Hi, welcome to my fieldnotes!

I was born and raised in the seaside town of Dalian, China, and studied at Davidson College, North Carolina, where I fell in love with sundresses, Southern BBQ, and the art of being a participant-observer, thanks to my professor and advisor, Fuji Lozada.

I have spent the past decade working in foreign policy think tanks, most recently as a Programme Manager at Asia House, where I led China-related events and research. I also serve as London Chapter Director of Young China Watchers, a global community for the next generation of China-focused professionals and researchers.

Earlier in my career, I worked at the American Chamber of Commerce in China and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Besides contemplating China, I love salsa dancing, park picnics, burgers and beer in a pub, meeting new people.

You can also find me on LinkedIn, Instagram, or by email.
