Steph (Jeong Ha) Choi

Originally from South Korea, Steph grew up exposed to both US and Korean culture. Prior to joining the Developmental Neuropsychology Across the Lifespan Lab, she received her PhD in Social Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.  Her research focuses on relatively overlooked sociocultural variability in the intersection of stress, health, and well-being based psychosocial factors related to health and well-being. Through her work, she hopes to highlight the importance of psychological diversity in understanding why some are more prone to health difficulties compared to others, and how such diversity can bring light to potential protective factors in the face of biological and/or socioenvironmental vulnerability.
