Peale gümnaasiumi lõppu otsustasin oma haridusteed jätkata Inglismaal. Tänaseks olen omandanud University of Westminster-is bakalaureusekraadi ning Goldsmiths University of Londonis magistrikraadi, mõlemad kognitiivse ja kliinilise neuroteaduse erialal. Bakalaureusetöö raames uurisin prosopagnoosia ja afantaasia vahelist seost ning koosesinemist.
On top of that, during my postgraduate degree I researched intentionality and hostility biases in borderline personality disorder in a general population.
In other words, prosopagnosia is the inability to recognise faces and aphantasia is the inability to perceive mental imagery.
Thus, I am now back in Estonia and ready to apply knowledge to practice.
I have completed a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy course, which can be effectively applied to depression, anxiety, stress and negative thought patterns, in order to improve the quality of life and effectively face challenges. As neuroscience and psychology are my passion, I often attend seminars and courses as well as read scientific literature and research papers to gain further knowledge in the field.
