About
When I was young I wanted to become a dancer - the flow and creativity captured me. But learning in history classes about the Holocaust initiated a strong desire to understand, explain and change pro-and antisocial behavior from a psychological perspective. During my Bachelor and Master degree I had the privilege to work with admirable researchers that inspired me to continue my academic path. So nowadays, I am putting the creativity into operationalizations of studies – I am still dancing, I love mostly Salsa, Heels, Bachata and Hip Hop (check out my instagram :)) but I am a peace psychologist at heart – I spent 4 years in Tel Aviv, Israel, which is the best city in the world (trust me I have seen a few). Now, I am working in Berlin in an interdisciplinary project on the question how we cope with affective polarization bridging social psychology, personality psychology and mental health approaches.
