I first moved to China in 2005 to study Mandarin in Beijing. Fascinated by an ever-changing country, I spent most of the following decade bouncing back and forth between China and the United States. During those years, I spent the majority of my time in graduate school and eventually earned a Ph.D. in Chinese history at the University of California, Irvine in 2014. I also pursued my love of writing and travel, combining the two as frequently as I could. I’ve contributed to a number of publications, including the Wall Street Journal‘s China Real Time blog, the Los Angeles Review of Books, the Ms. Magazine blog, and The TLS. Additionally, I possess extensive editorial experience, having worked at The China Beat, ChinaFile, the Journal of Asian Studies, Twentieth-Century China, and GradHacker. I currently co-edit the LA Review of Books China Blog with Jeff Wasserstrom.
