Ph.D. Student in Family Social Science
University of Minnesota
Hello, and welcome!
I am a Ph.D. student in Family Social Science at the University of Minnesota. My research interests lie at the intersection of immigrant families, communities, and policy. I am interested in understanding how social, cultural, and institutional contexts shape the experiences and well-being of immigrant families and communities.
Immigrant Families & Women | Community & Inequality | Immigration Policy & Social Well-Being
01 — Immigrant Families & Women
I study the experiences, well-being, and adaptation of immigrant families and women in receiving societies.
02 — Community & Inequality
I examine how community contexts and structural inequalities shape family and individual well-being.
03 — Immigration Policy & Social Well-Being
I explore how immigration and social policies shape access to resources, opportunities, and well-being.
