PhD Student
The Ohio State University, United States
Yujeong is a second-year doctoral student at the Ohio State University College of Social Work. She received her Master of Social Work from the University of Michigan. During her MSW program, Yujeong gained valuable experience as a social worker at a foster care/adoption agency, where she developed and facilitated support groups for foster care-involved youth and educational programs for trauma-informed parenting. She also worked as a therapist at a psychotherapeutic setting, providing clinical assessment and treatment to children, adolescents, and parents from diverse backgrounds.
In her post-MSW career, Yujeong served as a Graduate Research Assistant on various research projects aligned with her interests. She managed the Trauma-Informed Programs and Practices for Schools (TIPPS) project and directed the evaluation program of the Positive Early Childhood Education (PECE) program at the University of Michigan. Additionally, she contributed to the Study of Adolescent Neural Development (SAND) as a Graduate Lab Assistant, conducting intelligence assessments and psychiatric interviews.
Her research interest primarily focuses on examining the complex mechanism and transactional processes of multi-level risk and protective factors across the socio-ecological framework that shapes the psychopathology and resilience of children and adolescents, especially those who have gone through challenging times (e.g., child maltreatment). She puts an emphasis on the crucial role of the familial context and exploration of racial/ethnic differences in how these factors manifest and impact psychopathology and resilience. She is also interested in the conceptualization and operationalization of resilience in the context of child maltreatment and childhood adverse experiences.
