I am an Associate Professor at the University of Amsterdam, Jacobs Foundation Research Fellow 2021-2023, and member of The Young Academy (De Jonge Akademie) of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (KNAW).
I study the developing self: how children develop self-views, how these self-views shape mental health and educational outcomes, and how interventions that target self-views can help at-risk children flourish. I am committed to using developmental science to address social problems, such as inequality.
