Résumé

Profile

I am a high-achieving Political Science student at the University of Edinburgh with a diverse professional background spanning retail leadership, logistics management, and community advocacy. My journey is defined by Ikigai (purpose-driven action): bridging the gap between technical innovation and strategic policy analysis.

Focusing on Aviation Geopolitics and Air Power research, I apply Kaizen to optimize complex supply chain workflows and Omotenashi to ensure the anticipatory needs of stakeholders are met across every operational system.

Technical Value: Combines an analytical toolkit (Stata, SQL, Python) with high-pressure operational experience from UPS, EUSA, and international trade foundations at the British Chamber of Commerce Taipei.
