Non-Academic Info
Growing up in the UK but regularly visiting family in China has meant that I have been able to enjoy both worlds in terms of understanding cultures as both an insider and outsider.
In my spare time I enjoy exploring cities and hiding about in museums, galleries and good but also cost-effective places to eat.
