ELLA RHO

I’m a lab manager and research associate at the Risk, Resilience, and Culture Lab directed by Dr. Chunyan Yang at the University of California, Berkeley.

 

I earned a Bachelor's of Science with Honours and a Research Master's degree (MScR) in Psychology from Durham University in the United Kingdom. During my time in England, I worked as a placement and special activity teacher for diverse student populations in public primary and secondary schools.

 

I went on to acquire extensive quantitative and qualitative research skills at various labs with different focuses at Durham University, Seoul National University, UC Berkeley, and Stanford University.

​

My research interests are centered on the dynamic of school communities. Specifically, I am keen on 1) investigating the risk and resilience factors that influence school communities and their members; 2) delving into a comprehensive understanding of both social and professional support systems for educators; and 3) exploring the effects and outcomes of implementing school-wide practices and policies, such as the adoption and implications of AI in education and the universal Pre-kindergarten policy implementation.
