I've known since I was a teenager watching detective shows that I wanted to be a psychologist because I was always most interested in the 'mind-reader's' opinion during the investigation. However, as I mastered the profession over the years, I realized how important self-examination is alongside (or instead of!) analyzing others, uncovering the origins of our own emotions and thoughts. I was also prone to overthinking, worrying too much, wanting to perform too well, pleasing those around me, and giving importance to the opinions of people whose viewpoints didn't actually matter to me. I believe these are problems that affect a significant part of our society, and it's really important to address them.

As a private person, I love to be on the move, and if I could, I would spend every day being active. For more than a year and a half, I have been regularly working out, and although I initially started to change my shape, exercise has grown into a hobby and passion of mine. On the bumpy road of weight loss, I learned how important body image, self-confidence, and movement are in maintaining and sustaining mental health. At the same time, how easily we can become victims of negative self-talk through comparison with others, which can even be exacerbated by various social media platforms.
