About me

  • I'm a postdoctoral researcher in epidemiology at the Unit of Occupational
    Medicine, Institute of Environmental Medicine.
    I hold a PhD in Medical Science from the Institute of Environmental Medicine
    Karolinska Institutet. I have an MSc in Global Public Health and a BSc in
    Occupational Therapy.
    My research background and clinical experience has spurred my attentiveness
    to health disparities in society, particularly among the working population.
    I believe there is a strong need to embrace innovation and multidisciplinary
    approaches to advance our knowledge about social inequalities in health and
    try to identify solutions.

Research

  • I currently work in the PWR – Precarious Work Research [1] project. The
    project aims to deepen the understanding of how non-standard work
    arrangements and various psychosocial stressors in the workplace affect
    individuals, families and communities and how these contribute to
    inequalities in work environment, health and well-being. To do so, we use
    quantitative, qualitative and policy analysis.
    I previously worked in an EU-funded project that uses an exposome approach to
    study the impact of integrated exposures on the mental health of children
    using a range of cohort data (Studying the exposome for a healthier future
    for all children | Equal Life (equal-life.eu) [2]). My PhD research focused
    on the impact of physical and psychosocial workplace exposures on
    musculoskeletal health and labour market marginalisation.
