About

My greatest passion in life is to embrace human health and learn about what makes a good life. At the moment, I am privileged to be working with my passion in a mental health startup. We build a solution for healthcare providers and professionals that improves the productivity and availability of mental health care by helping the individual formulate their situation and goals and share this with their clinician for optimal care. My job tasks vary from product development to diverse tasks in marketing and sales, as well as executive team collaboration. Along with my jobs as a psychologist in product development and marketing, I am running my own podcast, through which I am aiming to popularise and make sense of the society and the human mind and behaviour. Moreover, I have specialized in health psychology to continue the learning on human health and good life. As a whole, what I have found intriguing while working in the health tech, health care and social care industry is the opportunity to work with people with diverse backgrounds. Along with this, working with different kinds of institutions varying from hospitals to start ups has been an exciting experience.
