Personal statement

In my professional life, I have honed my skills in writing about international trade and related industries in a way that people from different walks of life can understand. I want to help raise awareness of the impact of trade policies in countries across the world. This motivation emerged from the important lessons I learned from my undergraduate degree in Economics – the effect of international trade on people, planet and profit.

I started my career in the international trade arena as an Export Consultant for the Hinrich Foundation. The role enabled me to understand the effect of trade policies on micro, small and medium enterprises. I was able to provide manufacturers with effective marketing tools to bridge the gap between suppliers and buyers in a seamless and smooth manner.

Currently, I am a Research Associate for the Hinrich Foundation’s International Trade Research division. In this role, I interact closely with the Foundation’s management team on trade policy research in Asia and the United States, as well as write articles on the impact of trade policies on consumers and businesses. I have been heavily immersed in evaluating countries on sustainable trade parameters – economic, social and environmental.

As an advocate of free, fair and sustainable trade, I am honored to be selected as a Hinrich Global Trade Leader scholar. I planned to pursue increasing awareness of the importance of sustainable trade through my research, articles and discussions.

The Master of Global Trade program at the RMIT University is an opportunity for me to rise in the sphere of thought and policy leadership in advancing sustainable trade. It is, after all, the people, planet and profit that drive the world towards perennial well-being.
