“I had the best time last week while participating in training on education research led by the incredible Melo-Jean Yap. It was an absolute pleasure to learn from such a knowledgeable and inspiring instructor who truly knows how to engage and empower learners.\ \ What made this experience even more special was the amazing group of fellow participants who brought diverse perspectives and experiences to the table. The collaborative atmosphere fostered deep discussions and meaningful connections that will be so incredibly helpful as I move forward.\ \ From exploring new methodologies to gaining insights into best practices, l walked away from the training feeling equipped with a fresh perspective and renewed passion for my work. I’m confident that the knowledge and skills I’ve gained will positively impact how I approach my projects and contribute to the field of education research.\ \ A huge thank you to Dr. Melo and my fellow participants for making this workshop.”\ – Dr. CJ Neely, NIH FASEB MOSAIC Program Manager

Hi! I’m Hexin Bi, a third-year graduate student studying in the JHU School of Education’s Mental Health Counseling program’s School Counseling track. I’m passionate about working in the education field and helping adolescents and young adults thrive in school settings. I’m interested in counseling psychology, student wellbeing, and international student/immigrant wellbeing and would like to conduct more research about that!
