I am a psychologist, researcher, and lecturer based in Berlin and Greifswald. My academic work focuses on personality development, well-being and loneliness, and the ways in which our social environments shape who we are and how we feel.
I currently work at the University of Greifswald, where I combine research and teaching in personality psychology and psychological assessment. I am also affiliated with the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) at the German Institute for Economic Research (DIW Berlin).
Beyond academia, I am passionate about bringing psychological science into practice and public life. I regularly communicate psychological research through public talks, media interviews, podcasts, and other formats and I offer research-based psychological counselling.
