I am a PhD student in International Relations. My major research interests are in cyber security, middle power diplomacy and the Five Eyes intelligence alliance.

After graduating from the Australian National University with a Bachelor of International Security Studies, I completed a Master of Arts in International Relations at Seoul National University, where I am currently undertaking my doctoral studies.

I was born in Jangsung, South Korea, and attended Ashwood High School in Melbourne, Australia.

When I am not studying or working I like to spend time gardening and photographing. I divide my time between Seoul and Jangsung.
