Yutong (Tina) Zhu is a second-year MA student in the Psychology in Education program at Teachers College, Columbia University. She graduated from Trinity College in 2021 with a dual degree in Psychology and Educational Studies. Her research interests are cognitive inflexibility as a transdiagnostic mechanism underlying the development of depression and anxiety, and whether cognitive flexibility can interact with emotion regulation to shape emotional beliefs and experiences. Yutong plans to pursue a Clinical Psychology Ph.D. in preparation for a career in cognition-based research that fosters mechanistic understanding and better treatments for mood and anxiety disorders. In her spare time, Yutong enjoys cooking, reading, and practicing Tai Chi.
