I am currently completing my MSc in Global Mental Health at the University of Glasgow. I previously earned a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, during which I gained practical experience through an internship in a special education setting. My research experience has focused on women’s mental health, using qualitative methodologies to explore lived experiences and contextual factors. Other interests of mine include social inequalities, accessibility and equity in higher education and community-based mental health practices.
A new study from Latin America finds that active coping could protect young people exposed to stressful life events from developing depression and anxiety.
