" I obtained my PhD in Developmental Psychology in 2008 at Trieste University, Italy with a dissertation on psychosocial adjustment of ethnic minority children and parents, awarded the Best Doctoral Thesis by the Italian Psychological Association in 2009. In 2013, I completed my 2nd PhD in Cross-Cultural Psychology in Tilburg University, the Netherlands with a project on collective identity and well-being of ethnic minority youth in Eastern Europe. My second PhD received the 2012 Student and Early Career Council Dissertation Award of the Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD). I have international mobility experience as a research fellow at the Brent Centre for Young People, London (UK), Brown University (USA) and ongoing collaborations in Europe, Asia, the USA, and Africa. I have been honored to work with Cynthia García Coll and Fons van de Vijver - one of the leading scholars in developmental and cross-cultural psychology fields.
My scholarly research interests regard positive youth development in highly marginalized and stigmatized ethnic minority communities in Europe, most notably Roma, migration, identity, acculturation, well-being, intercultural relations. "
