About

I am a scholar, educator, author, and practitioner in the field of comparative and international higher education.

As a scholar, I research and write about higher education reform, international students, and comparative higher education policy in the United States and countries in Asia. My work appears in a number of journals, edited volumes, and policy venues and has received extensive press coverage from media outlets.

I recently published my first book, Constructing Student Mobility: How Universities Recruit Students and Shape Pathways between Berkeley and Seoul, with the MIT Press in 2023. The book received the Best Book Award from the Association for the Study of Higher Education Council on International Higher Education.

I teach at Georgetown University, where I am Associate Professor of the Practice and Faculty Director of Higher Education Administration in the School of Continuing Studies. I am also an affiliated faculty member of the Asian Studies Program in the School of Foreign Service.

Previously, I held academic and administrative positions at UC Berkeley and received my Ph.D. in Education from UCLA. I have also held fellowships with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), East-West Center, and Fulbright Program.
