I'm a J.D. Candidate at University of California – Davis, School of Law. I also hold a B.A. in Politics. I study political theory, international politics, intellectual property and criminal law.
I'm originally from Singapore. I completed my undergraduate in the United States, and am currently in a J.D. program. I specialized in political theory and international politics (Russia and Europe). I also own a very fat tuxedo cat. I am currently looking to work in intellectual property law for video games or as a public defender.
I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Politics, magna cum laude. I was published in my senior year in the undergraduate writing journal, Spectrum, and also won the associated writing award, Spectrum. I am now pursuing a Juris Doctor and am in my 2L year. I have written about mass surveillance in video games in law school.
I like cooking, baking, reading horror stories and watching horror movies. I also like high-adrenaline activities, such as roller-coasters and skydiving. Most of the time, however, I enjoy playing video games. I sometimes live-stream on Twitch. You can find me playing MMOs and MOBAs.
