Dr. Jiang completed her doctoral training in school psychology at the University of South Carolina-Columbia.

She is a licensed psychologist, who is passionate about training and mentoring future school psychologists. She is an editorial board member for School Psychology and the Journal of Youth and Adolescence. Dr. Jiang’ research focuses on adolescent social-emotional well-being and psychological strengths (e.g., growth mindset, stress-related growth), especially their development in the family and school contexts.
