I'm from Meanjin (Brisbane, Australia). In Australia, I have lived on Gadigal lands (Sydney) and Ngambri and Ngunnawal lands (Canberra). I now live in Manhattan, New York.

During my PhD, I was a Research Consultant for the Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict (ELAC) at the University of Oxford. I was also a Visiting Doctoral Fellow (supported by the Australian Federation of Graduate Women's Barbara Hale Award) at the Department of Politics and International Relations at Oxford.

​ Before moving to California, USA, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Coral Bell School of Asia Pacific Affairs at the Australian National University (ANU).
​
I have been a Visiting Fellow at the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence (sponsored by NATO CCDCOE) in Tallinn, Estonia, and a Visiting Fellow at the Australian War College (sponsored by the War College). ​Between 2025-2026 I was the Emerging Scholar Representative for the International Association of Genocide Scholars (IAGS).

My research has received the Frances V. Harbour Award (International Ethics Section, ISA), Ria de Root Award (UNSW), Leo Mahoney Award (RUSI-Australia), and Dean's PhD Prize (UNSW). My paper, 'Coding Protection', was nominated and a finalist for 'Best Paper by an Emerging Scholar' in the journal International Affairs. I received the Young Women to Watch Award (Young Australians in International Affairs) and the recipient of the Abraham J. Briloff Ethics Prize for Baruch Faculty.  Most recently, I was awarded the 'Honorable Mention - Emerging Scholar' in the International Ethics Section, ISA.
