I completed my BA at the University of Sydney. My Honours thesis looked at the supplementary role of ancient Chinese philosophy to modern questions of how to live the 'good life'. I am currently completing my MPhil on the topic of Zhuangzi's portrayal of self-cultivation and how the text can inform an interpretation of an approach to learning that is inherently meaningful to the individual. These projects are part of my wider research interests in Daoism and ancient Chinese texts to inform better thinking, living, and cultivated meaningfulness in human lives. This contributes to cross-cultural curiosities and understandings to enhance relations and decision-making on the global stage.
