Jacquelyn Tsui is a second-year graduate student pursuing an Ed.S. in School Psychology at California State University, Los Angeles.

As an aspiring school psychologist, she has been a student teacher serving Title I schools. She previously conducted research at UC San Diego’s Memory Research Lab, examining the relationship between hippocampal subregions and episodic memory in older adults to aid early Alzheimer’s detection. She also completed an honors thesis in the Learning in Multimedia Environments (LIME) lab, investigating how self-explanations and metacognition improve studying strategies and learning outcomes.

Jacquelyn has been presented at the UC San Diego Undergraduate Research Conference. Her current research interests include higher education equity, metacognition, social inclusion, and truancy, focusing on how adverse experiences affect college readiness.

Fun fact: Her MBTI is INTP, which explains her joy in overanalyzing movie plots.
