PhD candidate in Psychology

University of Vienna

Welcome!

I am a PhD candidate in Educational Psychology at the University of Vienna. My research interests include self-regulation, motivation, and well-being in academic contexts. I love learning new things and challenging myself - this is evident in my work, but also in my free time, where I like testing my limits in running, swimming, and cycling. I also love helping others achieve their goals, which is why I enjoy teaching and giving workshops and am a personal trainer, triathlon coach and yoga instructor (in training).

For this purpose, workshops for teachers were designed, conducted and evaluated according to the train-the-trainer approach, teaching them measures for direct and indirect motivation and self-regulation support.
