Medlem af:

    I am a social scientist and a public health professional working for the WHO Collaborating Centre in the Patient Perspective on Medicine use (Social and Clinical Pharmacy Research Group).  

    In 2013 I received my PhD in Health Sciences from the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, University of Copenhagen. I also hold a Master in International Cooperation for Development from Complutense University, Madrid and a Post-graduate in International Politics from Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. Prior to join academia, I worked for 10 years for the European Commission (EuropeAid) in South America, Africa and Asia, and for the World Health Organization – Regional Office for Europe in projects focused on improving maternal, children and adolescent health.

    With my current research, I focus on listening to adolescents voices and their perceptions of mental health and well-being. I am specially interested in the role that narratives ethics play in constructing meaning and developing copying mechanisms. I am currently studying the Resonance Theory (Rosa 2016), Burnout Society (Han 2017) and the Theory of Self-connection (Klussman 2020) to inform my research inquiries.
