About me

I joined the Social Psychology department as a doctoral student in early 2019. I research on gender and stereotypes across countries using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods. I investigate gender differences in stereotypical self and others’ perceptions and its impact on career choice as well as the workplace. I am also interested in the effect of migrants’ intersectionality between ethnicity, gender, and migrant status (for men and women) on their overall workplace fit and socio-cultural identification.
