As an ambitious Master’s student with a specialized focus on Foreign and Defense Policy, I am keen to bring analytical expertise and strategic acumen to the forefront of Mandala Partners' endeavors in shaping global policy landscapes and security assessments. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust toolkit for dissecting complex policy environments, enabling me to excel in data-driven analysis, articulate strategic communication, and conduct thorough policy evaluations. I am fervently committed to leveraging this skill set to influence decision-making processes, ensuring that strategic initiatives are both impactful and grounded in comprehensive insights. With a passion for navigating the intricate dynamics of international relations and defense strategies, I am eager to contribute to Mandala Partners' mission of advancing informed and innovative policy solutions on a global scale.

Passionate about promoting wellness and balance, I have a deep-seated love for Latin dancing, having honed my skills and shared my enthusiasm as an instructor at Latin Dance Canberra. Beyond merely a hobby, I have actively organized workshops aimed at offering colleagues and friends an enjoyable respite from work, encouraging physical activity as a means to destress and foster team bonding. My dedication to well-being extends to yoga and Pilates; my role as a studio manager at KX Pilates in Braddon not only deepened my appreciation for Pilates but also equipped me with invaluable leadership and organizational skills. This experience underscores my commitment to maintaining a healthy work-life balance and my ability to bring positive, energizing activities into professional environments.
