I study how intimate relationship decision-making and family formation processes are structured by U.S. immigration policies at the intersection of race, gender, and sexuality.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Sociology at the University at Albany. My research areas include Im/migration, Race and Ethnicity, Gender and Sexuality, Families, and Qualitative Methods. Before coming to UAlbany, I received my B.A. in Sociology with a minor in Criminal Justice from Gonzaga University and earned my M.A. in Asian Studies at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa.
