Quennie Dong is a doctoral candidate in the School Psychology program at the University of California, Berkeley. She has earned degrees from the University of California, Irvine (B.A., Psychology and Social Behavior, minor in Education) and Florida International University (Ed.S., School Psychology). Quennie’s research focuses on inclusive socioecological systems of support for educational leaders, teachers, and youth, with an emphasis on the Asian American community. Her scholarship critically examines the racialization of Asian Americans in education, considering how systemic and cultural forces such as racism, stereotypes, and community values shape intergenerational trauma and educational experiences. She also studies equitable leadership practices and the role of affinity spaces in sustaining the well-being, agency, and transformative contributions of minoritized educators.
