Asia Watch is APFC's biweekly news intelligence service. As a member of the APFC research team, I contribute to the writing of news articles for Asia Watch. Attached below is a sample of my work - an Asia Watch article from June 10th, 2021 entitled "COVID-19 Vaccines Roll Into the Philippines Amid Vaccination Reluctance". A list of hyperlinked articles I have written can be found at the very bottom of this post.
I contributed to the research and writing of the INTEGRATING SOUTHEAST ASIA’S DIGITAL SECTOR session backgrounder as part of the ABALC 2021 Meeting Booklet.

Attached below is a copy of the booklet (found on APFC's website) as well as the summary report of the 2021 ABLAC Conference
This research paper was the final major assignment for my POLI 366 International Political Economy class.
