Greetings from Zoe!
I am a Ph.D. student in Human Development & Psychology.
My research is applied, interdisciplinary, and multimethod.
I use qualitative, quantitative, behavioral, and neuroscientific methods to investigate how teachers, through their perceptions and practices, influence children’s cognitive development.
Under the mentorship of Dr. Jennie Grammer, my doctoral studies have taken place at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Virginia (UVA).
