I finished my masters in Health Psychology at Utrecht University in 2019. As part of my masters I followed an internship at the Amsterdam Medical Centre, focusing on trust between physicians and patients. Here I also started working as a research assistant, whereby I assisted in projects examining the heritability of cancer and the involved genetic uncertainty; and on psychological support after cancer treatment. In 2020, I decided to further examine my interests in research and psychology by combing my personal and theoretical experience with eating disorders as a PhD student at GGZ Rivierduinen Eating disorders Ursula. This PhD position generally entails the long-term effects and predictors of eating disorders, whereby investigating recovery and relapse. I combine this general focus with my personal interests in virtual reality, emotion regulation and body dissatisfaction.
