Hello! I'm Yating Yang, a current graduate student at Moody College (UT Austin), majoring in Communication Studies. I got both my B.A. (major in communication) and my B.S. (major in finance) from Renmin University of China in 2020.

My current research interests include health communication, identity, and equality. I am particularly interested in studying the role of communication in improving people's health. I can see the significance and potentials of communication in maintaining or changing people’s beliefs and actions. Also, I am enthusiastic about my future academic work around exploring the role of communication in promoting people’s health.

More about me

I have an adorable cat who looks like a raccoon. I also enjoy jogging since it can relax me when I'm stressed out. If you also like jogging, welcome to be my Strava friend! I try my best to sustain a work-life balance and sincerely appreciate every little good thing in life. The light blue sky and fresh air can provide me the energy to pursue my academic interests, like a cup of fresh coffee. I have a partner who can provide me with mental comfort. Considering the gap between sending and perceiving information, I appreciate that we didn't have a lot of fight! I enjoy what I have and look forward to what the future has in store for me. Have a good day!
