A researcher and policy analyst by profession, I have a background in public affairs, communications and think tanks. My main passions include feminism, social justice, healthcare, education and Star Trek. Although Hong Kong born and bred, I'm also British, culturally confused and have been UK based for over ten years. I volunteer in my spare time as a mentor to young disadvantaged women at the Girls Network. I also run, donate to charity and do other good citizen things. Though a (semi) normal person by day, by night I play GTA and read sci-fi.
