Overview

I am a former journalist with 13 years of experience reporting in Hong Kong and Indonesia. My work focused on the geopolitics of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong, climate change, labor issues, and immigration. Following a life time injury sustained while working in Hong Kong, I transitioned into academia and am currently pursuing postgraduate research about the impact of Hong Kong National Security Law and Article 23 on exiled journalists.
