About

I am a psychology student with experience in mental health access, educational data and digital communication. At Fürstenberg Institut, I match people in psychological distress with appropriate therapeutic support. My political science background (BRICS dynamics, financial inequality) and volunteer work with children with migration backgrounds in schools gives me strong intercultural communication skills and direct insight into structural inequality's mental health impacts for youth from similar backgrounds. Particularly interested in trauma-informed care, child protection in crisis contexts, gender-based violence support (intimate partner violence, sexualized violence) and digital psychoeducation. Open to internships in child protection, psychosocial support, and mental health programming.
