Bio
Born in Yangon and raised in Sydney. A corporate lawyer by training, now pursuing a passion in law, governance & development, focused on the country of my birth. Married to a happy soul who shares my love of food, travel and remote places. These days you will find me mostly in Myanmar where I am reliving my childhood dreams of rebuilding the country, one day at a time.
I'm passionate about
Creating a better world - one that protects the rights of the defenceless and gives a voice to the voiceless.
An idea worth spreading
The true strength of a country is determined by the way it treats its most vulnerable and not by the fortunes of its most privileged.
Areas of expertise
Governance, International Development, Law - Corporate, Legal & Business Affairs, Policy and Advocacy
