I am currently working full-time as a doctoral researcher, and otherwise as a lecturer at a teacher training school (special education and career guidance for grades 7-9)
My research focuses on associations between support, school burnout, and student engagement among general upper secondary education students. I aim to gain better understanding about the difficulties and need of support that academically well-achieved students may have during their studies. I hope that the implications of my findings will produce new information also for school personnel in general upper secondary education.
