Född 1981 i Ystad, Sverige. Ph.Lic. i Psykologi 2008, titeln på licentiatavhandlingen var ”Body Image across cultures and ethnic groups”.
Mina forskningsområden ligger inom utvecklingspsykologin och rör kroppsuppfattning och mobbning. Framför allt ligger fokus på 1) hur kroppsuppfattningen utvecklas under ungdomsåren, 2) tvärkulturella skillnader i kroppsuppfattning, 3) positiv kroppsuppfattning, och 4) mobbning ur ett elev-perspektiv.
