I graduated from Wesleyan University in 2018 with a double major in History and the College of Letters. My main interests include Chinese-American and Sino-Latin American history, in the context of transnational migration, of historical narratives, and of race.
For my undergraduate honors thesis, I received funding to go to New York, Florida, and Cuba to conduct archival research, site visits, and oral interviews with Chinese-Cuban communities. My thesis, “Monuments of a Hidden Past: Deconstructing the Historical Narrative of the Chinese in Cuba, 1847-1959” explored themes of historical memory, narrative emplotment, migration, and identity. At Columbia-LSE, I am excited to continue research in this field.
Outside of class, I love urban hiking, cooking, reading, and petting dogs (especially corgis and dachshunds).
