Leika Arifin

My professional journey includes project management and data analysis skills showcased during my role as a Student Consultant at Feathertail. As the Corporate Relations Director for the Queen Mary University Malaysian Society, I excelled in strategic communication and secured substantial sponsorships. My High Court Reporter Internship at News Straits Times honed my ability to synthesize and communicate complex information effectively. Beyond my professional roles, I co-founded the Urban Wildlife Rescue initiative, successfully raising awareness and funds.

I recently completed my Bachelor's degree in International Relations at Queen Mary University London, achieving a 2:1 Honours classification. My academic journey was enriched with key modules encompassing Political Data Research, Politics of International Law, Foreign Policy Analysis, and Populism: A Global Perspective. My dissertation, titled "Malaysia’s Strategic Response to China’s Growing Influence in Southeast Asia," allowed me to dive deep into international relations and strategic analysis.
