Major Research Interests

My current paper is entitled “Gender diversity is associated with alexithymic features in the general population of adolescents.” This study will explore whether alexithymia is associated with being gender diverse and will peek into other factors associated with gender diversity. After this article, I aim to continue my research with a PhD thesis in psychiatry, and will hopefully continue to do this research on gender diverse youth.

Other Interests

Psychiatry is not my only passion, even though I do spend a lion’s share of my time discussing it with my peers. I also love to travel and eat and travel so that I can eat. I enjoy long talks with friends, abundant breakfasts and have a longstanding infatuation with owls of all shapes in sizes.
