Congratulations to Ya Zhang!

Ya Zhang is an incoming student to Michigan State University. She received her B.S. in Biological Science and her M.Ed in Developmental and Educational Psychology at East China Normal University. As an ethnic minority in China, Ya grew up in a remote mountain area which lacked appropriate educational facilities. With the support of her parents, she managed to become highly educated. She now wants to make a contribution to the development of school psychological services in China. Her research interests include child/adolescent mental health, the impact of school and family on social functioning, and neuropsychology. She hopes to become a consultant to both practitioners and scholars who are committed to school-based practice.
