I am a doctoral student in Special Education at The University of Texas at Austin , specializing in Learning Disabilities and Behavioural Disorders. Born and raised in Shanghai, China, my journey into research is built on a foundation of over eight years of experience as a teacher, where I developed a deep commitment to understanding and supporting students with diverse learning needs.
My research focuses on the intersection of psychological factorssuch as motivation and emotionand the academic achievement of students. My current work may investigate whether a growth mindset can buffer the negative impact of math anxiety on children's math performance. Ultimately, I aim for my research to bridge the gap between theory and practice, leading to evidence-based interventions that empower all learners.
Outside of my academic work, I enjoy photography, reading sci-fi, and listening to a mix of R&B and classical music. I also love to explore new places through self-drive travel and enjoy swimming.
