I am a DPhil (PhD) student in International Relations at Balliol College, Oxford. My research concerns US foreign policy towards the People’s Republic of China during and after the Cold War. 

At Oxford, I am President of the Oxford International Relations Society (IRSoc). I am also a fellow of the Oxford China Policy Lab (OCPL) and a postgraduate member at the Rothermere American Institute (RAI). Prior to beginning the DPhil, I completed an MPhil in International Relations at Pembroke College, Oxford, during which I was Course Representative at the Department of Politics and International Relations (DPIR). I also hold a BA in International Relations with a minor in French from Tufts University (summa cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa), where I was a member of the Institute of Global Leadership (IGL).
