I am from Myanmar. Currently, I am working as a Research Associate at the School of Graduate Studies, Lingnan University, Hong Kong, where I have recently completed my PhD in Sociology and Social Policy. My dissertation, which is currently being transformed into a book for publication with Routledge, focuses on the socio-ecological barriers to regular migration and access to healthcare services among Myanmar undocumented migrant workers in Thailand. The socio-ecological model enabled me to contribute policy implications for promoting regular migration and access to regular healthcare services among the migrant population at the individual, interpersonal, organizational, community, and policy levels. In this vein, I have published over 10 articles in highly esteemed peer-reviewed journals indexed in SSCI, SECI, and SCIE and several op-ed publications in the media. Beyond my academic activities, I have been actively providing research consultancy services to various Asian organizations. Furthermore, I have extensive work experience of more than five years in the domains of social development and human rights, having served both the civil society and government sectors.
