My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to understanding various facets of human behavior and societal dynamics. As a research assistant at Halmstad University, I hold a diverse academic background with a BA in Psychology and an MSc in Work and Organizational Psychology and Criminology. Beyond my degrees, I have actively engaged with NGOs and contributed to research projects, bringing a practical dimension to my theoretical knowledge. Growing up in a culturally rich and supportive environment for minorities has instilled in me a deep appreciation for diversity, making the B-SHAPES project especially resonant. I'm enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to a multidisciplinary exploration of European borderlands, leveraging my unique perspective and skills. The prospect of further expanding my knowledge and collaborating with experts in the field is exciting and motivating.
