Psychology × Education × Business — building human-centered learning experiences.
Hi, I’m Dingyue
About me
A little about how I think.
Education: NYU — I’m studying Applied Psychology at New York University, with minors in Business Studies and Child & Adolescent Mental Health. I like turning research into experiences people can actually use — workshops, explainers, programs, and thoughtful media.
Education:
NYU — Applied Psychology (B.S.)
GPA 3.872/4.00 • expected May 2027
Athletics:
Former Chinese National Alpine Ski Team
World Championships & World Junior Championships (2023)
Experience:
Marketing + education programming
Adidas TERREX, a contemporary art museum, and sports media — brands, audiences, and learning moments.
Field notes
What I’m doing lately
- Exploring child & adolescent mental health and evidence-based learning design.
- Building a portfolio of mini explainers: “psych concepts, but practical.”
- Open to research assistant roles and education/psych/business cross-over projects.

Mood meter
SteadyGood moment for deep work (25 minutes).
Bias of the moment
Confirmation bias
We search for evidence that confirms what we already believe.
Try: Ask: “What would change my mind?” and look for one disconfirming data point.
Portfolio
Experiences across media, museums, and sport.
A few “portfolio-sized” stories — each mixes people, communication, and evidence.
