Hanna graduated in Psychology from the University of Vienna (Austria). During her studies, her interest in both science and practice became apparent. From working as a student assistant, she continued her path in academia as a postgraduate researcher while pursuing her PhD in Clinical Psychology in the Stress Lab of Prof. Urs Nater at the University of Vienna (Austria). In parallel, she started her training to become a psychotherapist. Hanna joined the Community Health Lab in June 2023 and is working as a researcher and project manager of the EU-funded CO-CAPTAIN project. She is also continuing to work as a psychotherapist in training under supervision (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) in her own practice. Hanna is especially interested in mental health, sexuality, prevention, stress, and vulnerable communities.
