Research Interests

My research interests include transnational history, immigration history, and women’s and gender history. My background in political science also spurred an interest in the relationship between government, grassroots activism, and societal change. My public history interests are broad, but my past experiences include visitor services, documentary script writing, and exhibit research and design.
