China is a Clinical Research Coordinator with the Bishop Lab and the Program for Research on Neurodevelopmental and Translational Outcomes (PRONTO). Her interest in working with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) began during her studies at Pitzer College where she helped lead a social skills group at the Claremont Autism Center. After graduating with a degree in Psychology and Economics, she moved back to the Bay Area to work at the UC Davis MIND Institute assisting with studies that examined language development in children with ASD, Fragile X syndrome and Down syndrome. After being immersed in language development research for two years, China looks forward to exploring other facets of autism to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the disorder with the Bishop Lab. In the future, China plans to apply for a PhD program in Clinical Psychology.
