👋 You can call me Kyoungjin [Kee-Young-Jin] or Jin!

I’m currently a Ph.D. Candidate at the Department of Educational Policy Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My other roles include:

Project Assistant at the Center for Research on College-Workforce Transitions
Communication Director at the Korean-American Educational Researcher Association (KAERA)
Junior Graduate Student Representative, Division I: Education in the Professions, American Educational Research Association (AERA)

My research and teaching explore college students’ transition to working adulthood, and the social, cultural, and technological influences on this critical phase.

Specifically, my current work addresses the following questions:

How can college education advance their support for college students in navigating the job market?
How can college education better support students in mobilizing their cultural strengths for career development?
How can college education ensure that internships and other work-based learning programs offer a safe and developmental environment for students?
