Chun-Chi (Sarah) Yang is a student in the School Psychology PhD Program in Berkeley School of Education. Before graduate school, she was a high school teacher in Taiwan for 20 years. After resigning from her teacher position, she attended the Post-Baccalaureate Program in Psychology Department at UC Berkeley. She then worked as a project coordinator in Hinshaw Lab and Family and Culture Lab at UC Berkeley. Currently, she is a second-year PhD student focused on adolescent research. As a teacher, she observed an upward trend of sleep problems and mental health difficulties in adolescents, which motivated her to gain more understanding of the etiology of adolescent mental health problems and how to prevent them from escalating to self-harm behaviors. Her research interests mainly focus on sleep and emotion regulation in adolescents, investigating factors such as digital media use and cultural backgrounds.
