Li Jeanne is a graduate of the Master’s in Clinical Psychology program at TC and will be serving as one of the lead lab coordinators here at the lab. Some of her roles include project management, data coordination and the handling of the lab’s operations. Li Jeanne is also part of a research team at the Columbia University Department of Psychiatry in which she examined how discrimination, sleep, and health behaviors shape Hispanic/Latino maternal-child health. Her research interests include the role of social disparities on the human-to-nature relationship, maternal-child health, causal inference, and the statistical handling of non-independent observations. Through her experience in multiple labs, she hopes to serve as a reliable lab coordinator to uplift the lab’s research operations. Ultimately, she hopes to pursue a PhD in public health or clinical psychology in the near future. 

Outside of the lab, she is a foodie and will one day embark on an adventure trying all kinds of food across New York City. She is also a big fan of horror movies and likes listening to catchy tunes.

Katie is a second-year master’s student in the Mental Health Counseling program at Teachers College, Columbia University. As a DEW Lab Coordinator, she oversees lab operations and supports research across multiple projects. Her research examines how natural and urban environments influence the well-being of blind and low-vision adults and how childhood experiences of place and connection to nature shape embodied well-being in adulthood. Katie is also a counselor-in-training at the Fordham University Counseling Center and a volunteer with a suicide crisis hotline. Her experiences working abroad and clinical training have shaped her interests in ecopsychology, global mental health, and accessibility and inclusion for people with disabilities. She hopes to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology, integrating research, clinical practice, and advocacy to advance mental health equity and access to care. Outside of the lab, she enjoys running, hiking, traveling, and spending as much time as possible outdoors!
