I am currently pursuing a PhD in economics at The New School for Social Research with a concentration in Feminist Economics and Methodology. I received an MS in Nonprofit Management with a focus in Economics, Gender, and Social Policy from The Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment and an MS in Accounting from St. John’s University where I also received a BS in Economics and Accounting. Prior to returning to The New School, I was an Academic Affairs Fellow at Naugatuck Community College of the Connecticut Community College system and taught economics as a lecturer at John Jay College and LaGuardia Community College of the City University of New York system.
I am an Asian-American woman and the daughter of immigrants to New York City. I was born, raised, and continue to live with my family in New York City. I love running and movement and have volunteered with Girls on the Run and New York Road Runners: Run for the Future, programs, which introduce girl-/woman-identifying youth to the holistic benefits and joys of running, fitness, and wellness. I also love animals, bagels, and sound bath meditations.
