Sophie Magro

Sophia Magro is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with Northwestern's Institute for Innovations in Developmental Sciences. Her work with EC*REACH focuses on understanding the impacts of Chicago's Universal Pre-Kindergarten program on children's development, especially in the context of special education services. More broadly, Sophie is interested in the roles that parents, teachers, and schools play in together supporting children's development of socioemotional skills. She is also interested in the development and evaluation of school-based early childhood interventions. In addition to her work with EC*REACH, Sophie is a clinician at Lurie Children's Hospital, where she conducts research with the Center for Childhood Resilience and sees patients through the Little Ones program. She earned her BA in Psychology and Music from St. Olaf College and her PhD in Developmental Psychopathology and Clinical Science from the University of Minnesota, where she was mentored by Drs. Glenn Roisman and Betty Carlson.
