Biography​

Tiffany Wu is a doctoral candidate in the School of Education at the University of California, Irvine with a specialization in Educational Policy and Social Context (EPSC).

Tiffany's work focuses on how early childhood education policies can improve opportunities for underserved communities. Her current strands of research focus on examining childcare subsidies, early childhood education interventions, and school choice. She uses causal inference and qualitative methodologies and works with community partners in research-practice partnership settings to help advance shared knowledge and support local communities.

She earned her MSc in Child Development and Education from the University of Oxford in 2018, graduating with distinction, and her B.A. in Psychology at the University of California, Irvine where she graduated cum laude in 2017.

Tiffany has been largely involved in education and research throughout her academic career by dedicating her time to teaching students of all ages and working as a research assistant at the Universities of California, Irvine, and Riverside. As a research assistant, she assisted in projects investigating adolescents' susceptibility to social influences and a longitudinal study examining relations between children's representations and emotional, behavioral, and interpersonal regulation. Her Master's thesis focused on examining the effects of various feedback types on children's motivation and self-efficacy beliefs in public school settings.
