Nini Liu

I am a passionate educator and researcher with a strong commitment to fostering educational spaces that prioritize the holistic well-being of students. With a foundation in psychology and a deep interest in social justice, I have worked extensively to support student well-being, whether through advocacy or research on curriculum changes. My goal is to contribute to creating inclusive and innovative educational environments that care for the whole student.

I have diverse professional experience spanning research, advocacy, and program coordination, with a strong focus on education and student well-being. At HundrED, I worked on evaluating global educational innovations and supporting initiatives for the 2025 Global Collection. I also collaborated with the National Academy of Educational Research in Taiwan, researching curriculum improvements and conducting school observations. My role as a Student Advocate at One Step Ahead Ry involved supporting students during crisis situations and building resources in partnership with community organizations. Additionally, I have a background in genetic data processing from my work as a Lab Research Assistant at UCSD.
