My work focuses on cultural performances/performing culture and identity formation while my expertise spans Asian American history, Asian American communities, and general Asian American Studies topics. When I'm not busy writing, teaching, or studying, I like to take time to read, watch Netflix at home, spend time with loved ones, and eating yummy food!Project ideas
