Introductions because #socmastodon #soctwitter

I'm an Asst Professor of Sociology (Critical Race Studies) at #SCSU. My research is on how Filipino immigrants navigate the US immigration system. I am πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­ πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ,a 1st gen academic, & a 1.5 immigrant. I'm also a mom to an amazing toddler & probably talk way too much about my 🐈 & 🌱 .
