Lindsey Nenadal
Dr. Lindsey Nenadal loves being back at her alma mater with the amazing students, faculty, and staff in the Department of Child Development. After receiving her B.A. in Liberal Studies and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from California State University, Chico, Dr. Nenadal taught elementary school in Huntington Park and the Koreatown/MacArthur Park neighborhoods in Los Angeles. She also had a wonderful opportunity to provide professional development and support to elementary, middle, and high school teachers throughout the Los Angeles region.
Inspired by her time in the classroom, Dr. Nenadal went back to school to earn her M.A. and Ph.D. in Education with an emphasis in Human Development and Psychology from UCLA. her research focuses on teachers' beliefs about biases based on social class; curriculum development, implementation, and evaluation focused on social issues; the effects of poverty on children's development; and how to support children and families after a natural disaster. In addition to teaching and conducting research, Dr. Nenadal is the Faculty Advisor for the Child Development Student Association and loves working with all of its wonderful student members.
