Greetings from Zoe! I appreciate you taking the time to read a little about me. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Human Development & Psychology.
I take an interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, and multi-method approach to investigate how teachers’ knowledge, perceptions, and practices shape children’s cognitive and self-regulation development. My work bridges child development and teacher development to inform research and practice.
Under the mentorship of Dr. Jennie Grammer, my doctoral studies have taken place at both the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of Virginia (UVA).
