Qiulin (Jocelyn) He (she/hers) is a doctoral student in Educational Policy and Planning and a Graduate Research Assistant at the Texas Education Research Center, where she immerses herself in both quantitative and qualitative research, drawing on longitudinal administrative data from the Texas pre-K to workforce population.
Her academic journey began with a focus on economics and finance, culminating in a M.A. in Economics and Education from Teachers College, Columbia University, and a B.S. in Accounting and Finance from the University of Melbourne. Her early career in business and finance, where she held roles as an investment analyst, capital market analyst, and strategy consultant, provided her with a bird-eye view of socioeconomic structures, organizational dynamics, and policy implementation. However, ongoing reflection on these experiences led her to explore deeper questions about how socioeconomic, political, and cultural factors shape self-concepts and social contracts through education, ultimately prompting her transition into academia.
