Maastricht University / PhD Student

As a PhD candidate at Maastricht University, my research focuses on understanding caregivers' work-life balance and well-being for individuals with dementia, with particular attention to their resilience in managing daily stressors. My work focuses on exploring and mapping the demands and resources these caregivers navigate across their work and home contexts. By identifying effective strategies to balance their professional and personal lives, I aim to contribute to improving their overall well-being and quality of life. My expertise in intensive longitudinal sampling (ILS) methods, particularly experience sampling methodology (ESM), enables me to capture caregivers' intricate, real-time experiences.
