Michelle Andrina

Michelle is a PhD student in Policy Studies (Immigration, Settlement and Diaspora Policies) at Toronto Metropolitan University. Her research topic focuses on the experiences of female migrant care workers from Southeast Asian nations who have settled in Canada. Her research will examine the impact of migration on these individuals and their families, exploring their lived experiences, transnational support systems, and the challenges they face, including familial responsibilities left behind in their home countries. Findings from this research will inform policies and practices to better address the unique needs of this demographic, promoting inclusivity and equity while facilitating the successful integration of migrant care workers in Canada. Prior to join TMU, Michelle was a researcher at the SMERU Research Institute, Indonesia.
