I am an Assistant Professor in Lafayette College’s Department of Government and Law. Substantively, my interests involve race, immigration, political participation, and public opinion and I use methods ranging from interviews to survey experiments and network analysis. I earned my PhD in Politics from Princeton University with specializations in American Politics, Comparative Politics, and Formal and Quantitative Methods. My dissertation, Creative Citizenship: The Impacts of Racialized Incorporation on Political Participation, won the 2023 American Political Science Association Race, Ethnicity, and Politics Section Best Dissertation Award. With Sonya Chen, I have won the Western Political Science Association Asian Pacific American Caucus 2023 Best Paper Award. My work has been published in International Migration Review, Politics, Groups, and Identities, and American Political Research.

Before coming to Lafayette College, I was a co-organizer for Princeton Women in Politics and a graduate fellow in Princeton Research in Experimental Social Science. I graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass). At UMass Amherst, I was fellow in UMass Women into Leadership, a fellow of SBS Rise (formerly Academic Fellows Program), and a Commonwealth Honors College Scholar with Greatest Distinction.
