My research interests lie in social, developmental, and educational psychology, with a particular focus on motivation and goal pursuit. I am especially interested in how social and developmental perspectives can inform and improve educational practices. I believe in fostering curiosity and critical thinking as key drivers of self-directed learning — encouraging students not only to learn, but to want to learn. Through my work, I aim to contribute to creating more engaged, empowered learners and a more dynamic, effective educational landscape.
