Staff profile

I finished my BSc in psychology and sports sciences in 2017 at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland and completed my MSc in clinical and health psychology at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. 

My PhD in psychology at Durham University focused on body image and sociocultural influences in Latin America.
