Her community-centered and place-based practices have served as foundation for her extensive work with diverse diasporic communities on tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and on transnational migration.

For her work on anti-racism, diversity and inclusion, and critical heritage studies, she was named Exemplary Diversity Scholar by the National Center for Institutional Diversity at the University of Michigan, and presented with a Distinguished Service Award by the BC Museums Association. She serves as a peer reviewer for academic journals and a juror for public history prizes and grants, and as a Member of the Canadian Cultural Property Expert Review Board.
