My areas of interest:

Women’s Health 

For my article, I worked on the impact of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) on the lives of women, as this touches upon my own personal painful experience. I used my own suffering as a vantage point for a discussion about the topic. This also concerns the question how our social environment deals with women who suffer from PMS. My research strongly resonated with the women I spoke to, who all expressed an interest in drawing greater public attention to this problem, as it is a problem that concerns all women.
