Beyond my day-to-day work, I pursue opportunities to intersect my research with public service.

I come alongside community organizations working in the democracy space, sharing perspective about emerging trends in religion and pop culture.

I continue to provide resource and research support to artists and others who are (re)framing cultural narratives around adopted people.

During the 2020 election season, I supported the work of Fresh Off the Vote, elevating the diverse voices of Asian American Gen-Zillennials.

It is particularly gratifying to bridge the academic and civic spaces in this capacity.
