I am a DPhil student in International Relations at Balliol College. I hold an MPhil in International Relations from Pembroke College, Oxford and a BA in International Relations (Phi Beta Kappa) from Tufts University.
My research focuses on how the rise of personalist leaders influences the international structure, particularly in the context of contemporary US-China relations. I maintain a secondary research interest in European diplomatic history from the 17th century onwards.
I serve as President of the Oxford University International Relations Society for the 2024-25 academic year, hosting speakers including John Mearsheimer, Graham Allison, G John Ikenberry, Joseph Nye, Amitav Acharya, and The Lord Hague of Richmond. I was a fellow at Oxford China Policy Lab (OCPL).
