Hiya! 👋
My name is Will and I am a student at the University of York studying Politics and International Relations. My Laidlaw research project looks at the extent governments are punished for the handling of the Covid pandemic and how governments utilise blame avoidance strategies.
I enjoy mountaineering around the UK and getting involved in youth politics such as with the British Youth Council and similar institutions. My passions would fall into having a love of reading and learning new things focusing on topics of self-development and psychology.
My Laidlaw experience focuses on reframing the tourism industry to center the environment. In my first year, I developed a map of NYC's ecotourism, focused on environmental justice, circularity, and emissions reduction. In my second year in Santiago, Chile, I have collaborated with FEDETUR, the federation of tourism enterprises of Chile, to develop materials for tourism businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.
I am a Human Science major at Georgetown University and I am fascinated by the neurological components underlying behavior. I currently work in the Lab on Social and Affective Neuroscience at Georgetown and intern at Arlington Free Clinic and So Others Might Eat Medical Clinic. These roles all give me a different perspective on the Mind-Body Connection.
A Philosophy & Economics student at University College London. For my research project, I branched out into Political Economics: exploring the game theoretic modelling of principal-agent relationships in proxy wars, and how this impacts the outcomes of internationalised intrastate conflict. My Leadership-in-Action project focused on bringing the voices of more youth leaders to the table at Qatar Youth Power Conference 2023. I grew up in Singapore, but currently am in London; you can find me lost in a book, on a walk, or both at once.
