In 2015, I received my Ph.D. from the University of Hong Kong, where I undertook an ethnographic study of language ideologies and ethnic/national identity among South Asian students in Hong Kong. I have previously worked as a a lecturer at the University of Hong Kong and as a lecturer in English Language/Sociolinguistics at the University of Leeds, UK. I completed my master's degree at the University of Oxford and my B.A./B.S. at Truman State University in Missouri, U.S.A.
