Lina has a B.S. in Fine Art from the University of California at Santa Cruz and an M.A. in Educational Psychology with a concentration in Early Childhood Education from California State University at Northridge. She previously worked in Los Angeles, California as a preschool teacher where her experience with young children was centered around problematic classroom behavior and self-regulation, which in turn formed her current interdisciplinary research interests.
Lina's research interests include emotional intelligence, promoting “soft skills” in educational contexts, and how social ecology interacts with cognition and mental load. In particular, she is exploring how the interaction of an individual's context and their perception of that context contribute to stress.
