Agostina holds two bachelor’s degrees, one in Early Childhood Education from Sara C. Eccleston Educational Institute, and another in Educational Psychology from El Salvador University in Argentina, where she graduated with honors. Upon graduation, she worked for seven years in educational settings as an Early Childhood Educator in Buenos Aires, Argentina, fostering thoughtful and meaningful curricula. More recently, she pursued her M.A. in Cognitive Science in Education at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she helped as a research assistant in the NEED Lab, working on the Baby's First Years project, which is the first clinical trial testing connections between children’s brain development and poverty reduction. After graduation, Agostina was offered the lab manager position at the Stroller Lab under the mentorship of Dr. Troller-Renfree.
Agostina is passionate about how early experiences can foster or detriment cognitive development among young children, especially phonological awareness and language development. Thus, she would like to offer actionable advice to caregivers, professionals, and parents to support the development of young kids.
