Joining the Annenberg team excited Yuno because of a shared commitment to a multidisciplinary approach to advancing equity in education.

During her undergraduate studies, Yuno worked as a research assistant and fellow for Dr.Nakamuro Makiko, at the Applied Econometrics Lab at Keio University (Japan), honing skills in designing and conducting quasi-experimental studies to produce evidence. She spent a year at Brown University as a visiting student, immersing herself in the field of Education Policy and serving in research assistant roles working with local organizations. This experience deepened her appreciation for the power of evidence and collaborations in shaping educational policy and practice to advance equity. Completing her master’s in education policy and analysis at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, she strengthened her research skills and enhanced her ability to generate robust evidence in education.
