I am a psychology student with a background in healthcare, data analysis, UX research and coaching. My professional path has not been linear, but each stage has brought me closer to the same questions: how people think, how they make decisions and how we can support them more effectively.

I began in healthcare, where I completed clinical training and gained hands-on experience as a paramedic. Working with people during vulnerable and uncertain moments taught me a great deal about responsibility, communication and the importance of staying calm. It also showed me that technical knowledge is only one part of helping someone. People also need to feel heard, respected and safe.

Later, I moved into informatics, I became a business informatics engineer. I worked as a data analyst and UX researcher. These years gave me a different way of understanding people. I learned how to work with data, recognise patterns and investigate what people need, how they make decisions and where systems fail them. I became especially interested in the reasons behind user behaviour and motivation.

My work in business coaching brought me closer to individual experiences. I supported IT professionals with decisions, change, communication and professional challenges. I valued this work, but over time I became increasingly aware of its limits. I realised that I wanted a deeper understanding of mental health and psychological difficulties, and that I needed formal clinical and psychological training to support people responsibly in the way I hoped to.

This is what led me towards psychology. I am now studying psychology at university in Aotearoa New Zealand and gradually building towards advanced postgraduate training and a future career in clinical psychology.

Although my background reached several fields, the same interests have followed me throughout: understanding, helping others, asking questions, working with data and finding ways to make support more useful.

I’d like to learn how psychological difficulties develop, how they affect everyday life, how they are assessed, and what forms of support are actually what forms of support are effective for different people. I am especially interested in the relationship between mental health, human behaviour and decision-making: why people respond differently to stress, uncertainty or trauma, how relationships and environments shape wellbeing, and how trust can be built when someone is vulnerable.

At the same time, I am very curious about artificial intelligence and digital technology because they are becoming part of how people work, communicate, seek help and understand themselves. I want to explore how these tools might support clinical psychology, for example through better access to information, screening and early identification, personalised interventions, administrative support, or tools that help clinicians notice patterns. But I’d also like to explore where the risks are. AI can misunderstand context, reinforce bias, create false confidence, reduce complex human experiences to data points, or encourage people to rely on technology when they need real professional care and human connection. What interests me most is not technology on its own, but how it changes people’s lives and how it can be used responsibly.

I want my future work to stay grounded in evidence, ethical judgement, cultural awareness, careful communication, and respect for each person’s autonomy.

In my free time, I enjoy painting, making things and being creative in different ways.

I also find true crime stories thought-provoking, particularly because they raise difficult questions about motivation, decision-making, responsibility and the circumstances that shape human behaviour.

I read a lot, go for long walks, and really enjoy cooking.

I absolutely love New Zealand and want to understand more about the country, its cultures and its languages.

I also love learning languages. I speak Hungarian, English, Italian, and Esperanto. At the moment, I am studying te reo Māori, which I find both exciting and challenging.
