I am Assistant Professor of Ethnic Studies at Ohlone College, Fremont. I teach Asian American Studies, Queer Studies, Middle Eastern History, East Asian History, and World History.
I have extensive experience teaching in-person and online History, Ethnic Studies, Language, and Culture/Civilizations courses at the BA, MA, and PhD levels, and I have taught at the University of Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Lewis University, Arizona State University, and California State University Northridge.
I hold a PhD (2020) from the University of Chicago’s MES (formerly Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations). I completed my Bachelor’s in Literature with a Russian minor at California State University Northridge in 2011 and my Master’s in the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Chicago in 2013.
