Katrina is a Research Officer working on TalkTogether: Supporting Oral Language Development.

The project investigates children’s oral language in multilingual urban poor contexts, with an aim to develop and evaluate an intervention programme for kindergarten classes. TalkTogether is an international collaboration led by Dr Sonali Nag and involves academic and non-academic partners in India and the Philippines.

Katrina completed her PhD in Psychology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. Her previous research focused on children’s language, literacy, and numeracy within the home context and on designing and evaluating family-based interventions to improve these skills.

She was a contributing author of the Teaching Struggling Readers Around the World Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) offered by World Learning and The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
