About me

Katharina's research focuses on employee well-being and factors which lead to psychologically healthy workplaces, applying psychological principles and knowledge about human behavior and emotions.

Katharina supports her own wellbeing by gardening and walking in the Port Hills, Christchurch. She is from Sweden and moved to New Zealand in December 2010.
