Hello! I am a final-year PhD student in the Department of Econometrics and Business Statistics at Monash University, supervised primarily by Susan Wei. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a data scientist at the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development in Western Australia—a role I continue part-time. Prior to that, I completed my undergraduate and MPhil studies at the University of Western Australia.

I am currently on the job market for research roles in industry and welcome any opportunities. Feel free to get in touch!
