Research Interests

My research interests are grouped into three main areas:

1) Application of Management and Psychological Theories: I use a synergistic approach, combining management and psychological theories to understand their broad impact on different aspects of professional life.

2) Development and Evaluation of Mindfulness-Based Interventions: This focus involves the creation and critical assessment of various mindfulness-based interventions and trainings. The primary goal is to improve employee health and wellbeing, leadership skills, and foster a healthier, more positive work environment.

3) Workplace Physical and Mental Health Issues: The third part of my research explores physical and mental health issues in the workplace, particularly chronic illnesses like endometriosis. These projects aim to increase awareness, foster understanding, and aid in the creation of supportive and inclusive policies for female employees dealing with these conditions.
