Personal Statement:

I am interested in Asian/American diasporas in the Midwest and how Asian American Studies methodologies can better help us understand histories of the heartland. I invite you to visit my website for more information about my research projects and to view my CV!

Aside from the time dedicated to pursuing a PhD, I enjoy spending my time with a Diet Coke, singing along to kpop, and occasionally taking a *not staged* Instagram post.
