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).

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in Austria in early 2020, I have been part of a research group investigating how the new situation (distance learning , security measures) affects pupils, parents, teachers and students in Austria and across the world.
PRO SRL TRANSFER is a transfer project for product- and processoriented modeling and recording of competencies for self-regulated learning in students. It is a follow-up project to PRO SRL and PRO SRL EVA. For this project, we cooperated with the University of Augsburg.
The goal of the project “Studierende zum Abschluss motivieren” is to support students, especially in the final stage of their studies (writing the master’s thesis). 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.
