ABOUT MEI am a scholar and teacher with expertise in US history, Asian American history, and gender and women's studies. In August 2020, I received my PhD in history as well as a graduate certificate in Women's Studies from the University of Michigan.
Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow with the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies at the University of Michigan. This academic year (2020-2021) I am teaching courses on gender and US militarism (HIST197) and Asian American history (HIST328). I am also working on an academic article about Filipina war brides who immigrated to the US after World War II. |

Prior to coming to Michigan, I taught high school. I received my BA cum laude from the University of Washington in History, Anthropology, and Spanish, and then I went on to obtain a Masters in Teaching with secondary education endorsements in history and Spanish. Learning how to think critically about the past in college was such a transformative experience for me. I wanted to become a teacher to inspire others and to expose students to topics that are often left out of high school curriculum. My passion for historical research brought me to pursue a PhD.
I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, and spending time outdoors with my two dogs, Coco and Nana. |
