Lingga Suganda Tjioe School of Teacher Education and Leadership Graduate Assistant <span data-olk-copy-source="MessageBody">Being a Graduate Assistant at Utah State University's School of Teacher Education and Leadership has granted me invaluable experiences and opportunities to hone a variety of hard, soft, and technical skills. The practical, hands-on experience while working in research projects and teaching alongside professional faculty has significantly boosted my professionalism, communication, adaptability, collaboration/teamwork, and time management. I can also&nbsp;improve my instructional abilities as well as my critical, creative, and analytical thinking skills while working with research data, presenting findings in conferences, and co-authoring publications. I am grateful that my work as a GA has helped me to grow both personally and professionally.</span> lingga.tjioe@usu.edu /teal/files/cv/2025-Lingga-CurriculumVitae.pdf <strong>Concentration area:</strong> Cultural Studies in Education<br /> <strong>Research interests: </strong> Foreign/Second Language Education, Mindfulness, Social Emotional Learning, STEM and Equity <br /> <strong>Award:</strong> Foreign Fulbright PhD Program Grantee <br /> <strong>Faculty mentor(s):</strong> Dr. Sarah Braden (supervisor) and Dr. Brayan Diaz
