Welcome to my personal website!
I am a Korean American sociologist who is committed to research with Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Native Americans to eliminate health inequities. I am currently an Assistant Professor in Asian Pacific American Studies at Arizona State University.
You can find out more about my research and teaching on this website, and here is my CV. If you have any questions, please contact me. I'd love to hear from you.
About Me
I am a quantitative sociologist who struggles to fit into the categories. I was born in the US and I consider myself a person of the Korean diaspora as I continue to live between two worlds everyday. I did half of my schooling in Korea and I speak fluent Korean. My dream is to write the children's books and my family's autobiography someday. My last name "Yellow Horse" is Navajo and is gifted from my spouse. Outside of research, teaching and advocacy, I enjoy being Naat’áanii's mom and thrift shopping.Recent Updates
