  • Gonville and Caius College

Growing up between vastly different worlds of Thailand, the Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom, I developed a deep appreciation for how global norms connect and impact the lives of people. These formative experiences led me to pursue law and called me to a career in public service. From scholarship in the dreaming spires of Oxford, to advocacy in the halls of The Hague and negotiations in the United Nations, I gained insight into how international law and diplomacy can make and shape a resilient world order. At Cambridge, my PhD research seeks to explore how international legal principles can safeguard future generations for the common benefit of humankind. In doing so, I hope to promote sustainability in global decision-making processes and develop international law that is effective, equitable, and engaged with humanity’s long-term needs. I am excited to learn from and contribute to a community of scholars committed to this shared pursuit.
