Ph.D. in Political Science at Claremont Graduate University.

I am an Adjunct faculty at Cal State Dominguez Hills and the University of Laverne. I focus on International Relations, International Political Economy and Comparative Politics.

My research interests include migration and growth at both the national and sub-national frameworks, governments' political capacity, relations between the US and China, and the impact of inequality in the developing world.

I have an MA in International Studies from Claremont Graduate University, an MBA in Finance and International Business from the University of La Verne, and a BA in Finance from Jilin University of Finance and Economics.
