I am a PhD in Politics candidate at The University of Edinburgh. My research interests include political communication, nationalism, East Asian politics (China, Hong Kong, Taiwan), and public opinion. I employ an eclectic approach to methods, selecting them based on their appropriateness for answering particular research questions. My PhD research investigates the framing of nationalist discourses through the case study of China and Hong Kong with quantitative and qualitative Linguistics methods. I am also working on other research projects on the framing and impact of political discourses, mainly using China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan as case studies.

Before embarking on my research journey in Edinburgh, I was a teaching-track lecturer at the Hong Kong Baptist University who mainly taught The Art of Persuasion and other communication courses. I received two teaching awards during my lectureship.

I am a Canadian raised in Hong Kong and academically trained in Edinburgh.
