Hello, I'm a public servant at the Australian Trade and Investment Commission. I also write books about the historical figures who brought Australia and Asia closer together.
I'm actively involved in the Asialink Leaders Program and the Australia-China Youth Dialogue, and looking to build on that experience by learning how to be a board director in 2027.
If you're curious to know how I learned Mandarin Chinese as a second-language learner, plus some Sichuanese dialect, read my number one tip for learners (中文).
