ABOUT MEI am a historian of the 20th-century transnational US, specializing in gender and US empire in the Philippines. My research and teaching center on Asian American history, Philippine and Filipinx studies, and feminist approaches to US militarism. 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 in 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 as well as Asian American history. In addition, I am working on revising my dissertation into a book and publishing an academic article. |

Prior to coming to Michigan, I was a high school teacher. 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 research and teaching at the college level brought me to pursue a PhD.
When I am not engaged in scholarly work, I enjoy hiking, playing tennis, and spending time outdoors with my two dogs, Coco and Nana. |
