Michelle Zhang is a Pomona College Class of 2027 student majoring in Sociology, with a second major in Economics and a minor in Spanish. Their research interests include labor policy, social interaction, the valuation of service and care work, globalization, and migration.

Previous research experience: I conducted an independent sociology project through Pomona's Summer Undergraduate Research Project fund, organizing qualitative interviews, analyzing quantitative data, and coding findings into broader themes.

How I got started: I knew I wanted to do summer research, so I worked with my advisor to prepare an application grounded in research interests I had developed in sociology courses.
