About me

For my PhD I’m doing research at Frankfurt Goethe University in the Department of Social Psychology. My research focuses on mindfulness, leadership and self-leadership. In my studies I investigate the effects of mindfulness, meditation and mindfulness-based interventions on leadership, self-leadership, relationships, stress, resilience and well-being. I studied both my Bachelor's and Master's at Goethe University with a clinical-psychological major. At Complutense University in Madrid I further studied Asian Philosophies and Religions (Buddhism, Hinduism, Taoism) as a minor and went on to complete my Masters with a minor in adult education and counseling at Goethe University. Since 2016 I have been working as a consultant, trainer, coach, facilitator, host and speaker in various areas especially in the field of human resources development. I lead talent recruitment- and development-projects, have been providing trainings and coaching to leaders and future leaders and offer consulting and development services to my clients. I enjoy teaching! For instance I teach an undergraduate seminar on positive psychology at Goethe University, I give workshops on mindfulness, meditation and the dynamics of personal growth. It is very important to me to offer help with my expertise and to put my research and my psychological background into practice.
