About

I am passionate about the field of organisational psychology and eager to bring it to life to improve both Organisations and people’s working lives. Areas of interests: - Organisational culture and workplace design - The impact of space on well-being - Organisational change & development - Group dynamics - Happiness in the workplace - Psychological safety - Change management and many more...
