I hold a Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Anthropology, complemented by a Ph.D. research fellowship at the esteemed National University of Singapore. My academic journey has been driven by the pursuit of understanding human cultures and societies through rigorous qualitative research methodologies. My career has been shaped by extensive ethnographic research conducted in diverse cultural contexts. As an educator, I am deeply committed to fostering intellectual curiosity and critical thinking among my students. My research interests span a wide range of topics, with a particular focus on gender studies, digital society and culture, Health, and applied anthropology. Through my scholarship, I seek to shed light on pressing social issues, empower marginalized voices, and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of anthropology. At BUI, I look forward to inspiring the next generation of anthropologists and making meaningful contributions to our collective understanding of human culture and society.
