I hold a BSc and MSc in Psychology from India, with a focus on humanistic and positive psychology. My research explores flourishing, intergenerational friendships, and healthy aging across the lifespan, with a particular interest in old adulthood. My MSc dissertation examined how societal stereotypes impact emerging adult women’s transformation and how self-compassion fosters their growth. I co-designed and conducted Eugeria, a research study integrating Martin Seligman’s concept of flourishing to identify factors that support well-being in later life.
“I am affiliated with Fundació Salut i Envelliment as well as the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology at UAB, where I am developing my doctoral project, “Growing Old Well: A Cross-Cultural Inquiry into Healthy Aging,” under the supervision of Dr. Sara Domenech, Dr. Ramon Miralles, and Dr. Ana Barajas. By comparing the lives of older adults in Spain and India, my thesis aims to explore the factors that enhance quality of life and emotional well-being in later years, as well as the psychosocial risk factors that may contribute to cognitive decline. The findings will ultimately guide the development of psychosocial interventions to support healthy aging.
