Department of Sociology

Hello everyone. My name is Jingquan Miao. I go by Flora. I’m born and raised in China. I spent the past four years in Boston attending Boston University, where I earned double B.A. degrees in Psychology & Brain Science and Statistics. My professional experience includes working as a Research Assistant in BU’s Transdiagnostic Research on Emotions, Neuroticism, and Dissemination-Unified Protocol (UP) lab, as well as in the Vietnam Era Twin Study of Aging (VETSA) lab. I also completed a data analyst internship with a consulting company in Summer 2023. During my senior year at BU, I worked as a Student Health Service ambassador, promoting physical and mental well-being through event planning, tabling, and participating as a panelist in various events.

Outside of work, I enjoy city walks, working out, reading, and exploring restaurants and cafes in town, and I’m now trying to learn skating since it makes me feel like I’m “flying on the ice”. If you are also interested in that, please let me know and we can team up! These activities are essential for maintaining my overall well-being and staying focused on what and whom I love.
