Research

I am a geographer specializing in archival, ethnographic, and oral history research.

I have fifteen years of research experience and have conducted interdisciplinary research in seven countries. Since 2023, I have been a researcher for the PBS genealogy series Finding Your Roots.

Since 2012, beginning as an MA student at NYU and then doctoral student at Rutgers, I have conducted extensive academic research on the Vietnam War, Cambodian genocide, refugee camps in Thailand and Cambodia, and the history of the United Nations refugee agency.
