Welcome to my website!

Hello! I am an Assistant Teaching Professor in Media Studies at the University of Colorado Boulder.

I am a critical cultural and media researcher and teacher who focuses on global discourses about racial and gender identity in media that are shaped by historical and socioeconomic structures of inequality such as militarization, imperialism, neoliberalism, and whiteness. Through research and teaching, I challenge representational inequality, particularly constructed around Asian identity, by finding new or other ways of thinking about Asian identity through a transnational and decolonial lens.

My research topic encompasses Asian/American digital culture, mixed-race aesthetics, cross-racial performances, and women's oppression and agency related to their bodies and beauty.

If you are interested in my research or would like to connect, feel free to reach out to me!
