I am a PhD candidate supervised by Dr. Katharina Block, Dr. Michael Boiger, and Dr. Suzanne Oosterwijk. My research focuses on gendered emotion across cultures. In particular, I study how men and women differ in their emotional experiences, expressions, and emotion norms, and how these differences influence both professional and close relationships. More broadly, I examine how these dynamics connect to cultural and structural factors such as gender inequality.  I am also interested in wider social issues, including social movements and extremism. Prior to starting my PhD, I completed a Research Master in Social and Health Psychology (cum laude) at Utrecht University.
