About

I am a Master's candidate in World Languages and Intercultural Studies at Georgia State University, where my work sits at the crossroads of African American history, Chinese studies, and transnational cultural exchange. My research interrogates how diasporic communities have shaped and been shaped by one another across literary, musical, and historical registers.

Outside of my academic work, I serve as a Chinese language tutor at the Center for International Resources & Collaborative Exchange (CIRCLE), supporting students in developing linguistic proficiency and cross-cultural competency.
