PhD candidate in Politics, University of Otago

I am a PhD candidate in Politics at the University of Otago. My thesis is on New Zealand's relations with the Gulf states in the 21st century. I also comment regularly on New Zealand foreign policy and related geopolitical issues in the news media.

I received a Bachelor of Arts with Honours in Politics from Otago in 2007, along with a Diploma in Language and Culture (German). I also hold an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from Victoria University of Wellington, awarded in 2011.
