Community Projects
Yale-NUS Academic Commons
Yale-NUS College is a liberal arts college in Singapore, established in 2011 as the result of a partnership between Yale University and the National University of Singapore (NUS). Unfortunately, Yale-NUS College will cease to exist as an institution in 2025.
The goal of Yale-NUS Academic Commons is to preserve and continue growing the unique interdisciplinary academic culture of Yale-NUS in the form of its people. We aim to build a global community facilitating connections amongst Yale-NUS alumni working in and around academia (and academia-adjacent fields). Through the sustained engagements amongst members of this community, we hope that an archive of the Yale-NUS academic experience—past, present, and future—emerges.
CUNY Minorities and Philosophy Chapter
Minorities and Philosophy (MAP) is a collection of students in philosophy departments that aims to examine and address issues of minority participation in academic philosophy. As part of the CUNY Graduate Center MAP chapter, I helped organize pedagogy reading groups (which included readings on diversifying syllabi, e.g., Van Norden's Taking Back Philosophy), workshops (such as a panel discussion on 'A Realistic Grad School Timeline'), as well as talks and presentations with other NYC MAP chapters. Through CUNY MAP, I also volunteered with Corrupt the Youth, a high school philosophy outreach program.
I also managed a pedagogy resource during my term with CUNY MAP, which can be found on the CUNY MAP website: https://cunymap.weebly.com/, which includes a compilation of external resources on pedagogy, particularly on the topic of diversifying syllabi.

Community Building and Mentoring/Advising Service Work
When I was Co-Chair of the Student Steering Committee at The Graduate Center CUNY, I often organized community-building events for the student body such as the Philosophy Brown Bags.
I also participated actively in various mentoring and advising initiatives for undergraduates interested in graduate school in philosophy, both at CUNY Queens College, where I taught from 2018–2021, e.g., a forum on graduate school in philosophy, as well as through the Yale-NUS Mentorship Programme.
I was part of the SWIP-Analytic (Society for Women in Philosophy) organizing team from 2020–2021.
