This week, I officially advanced to candidacy. I'm deeply grateful to my committee for their guidance and mentorship; to the faculty and staff in my department and the @usccis.bsky.social for their support; and to my friends and my family for their love. Onwards to the dissertation! #FightOn ✌🏻❤️💛

This week, I presented a paper on the Bank for International Settlements at the @isanet.bsky.social #ISA2025 annual convention in Chicago. It was a real pleasure to share the panel with fellow #EnglishSchool scholars, talk about #GlobalFinance, and engage in a very fruitful dialogue.

I am deeply honoured and grateful to receive the USC Dornsife’s 2024 Communicator of the Year Award in the category of PhD Student. This award encourages me to keep sharing knowledge and engaging in the public square. Thanks to @usc.edu @dornsife.usc.edu for this recognition! #FightOn ✌🏻❤️💛
