I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Ottawa, School of Political Studies and the Chair in Taiwan Studies. I received my doctoral degree in Political Science from the University of Toronto.

I research the politics of social welfare provision and care migration, with a focus on the transnational migration of care workers in East Asia. My work has been published in academic journals such as the Journal of Ethnic and Migration and Critical Sociology. I am also one of the co-editors of Emotions, Community, Citizenship: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives, which was published by the University of Toronto Press in 2017.​ 

Previously, I was a Doctoral Associate in the Centre for Global Social Policy at the University of Toronto. My research has been acknowledged by the China Times Cultural Foundation Young Scholar Award, Chiang Ching-Kuo Foundation Dissertation Fellowship, and Korea Foundation Fellowship for Field Research, among others.
