Recent Duke PhD ('20) in History, now teaching Public Policy at Duke Kunshan University as a DKU Global Fellow.

I grew up on a calf-cow farm where we grew our own vegetables. I am the first person in my extended family to earn a PhD.

I met my husband while working for the college radio station at the University of Georgia; we hosted the noise/experimental show together for years.

I study food safety and international trade, so it's no surprise that I love to cook! Lately, because travel restrictions prevent me from getting my hands on the real thing, I have been trying to make Sichuanese food at home.
