Background
My research interest in acknowledging mental health in school settings developed through a winding path. As an undergraduate, I started off my study in Psychology at Beijing Normal University, when I focused on educational psychology and intervention programmes to promote children's reading abilities. Proceeding that, I pursued my Master's degree in Psychology of Education at UCL Institute of Education, where I developed an interest in mental health, especially that of young people's. Naturally, mental health education comes to my mind.

Research summary
My research interest is mainly in young people's mental health, specifically in relation to body image and eating behaviours and disorders. I am intended to explore this topic in a cross-culture background.
