Biography

Student of PhD. Master of Social Sciences and Licensed Social Worker. I am studied which factors modify individuals' attitudes towards social welfare, and whether there are any benefits from an income assistance in municipal level. My main research methods have been quantitative (linear regression, moderation, mediation) but I have also practiced the qualitative methods. I am interested to work with research regarding social policy and social work on the public and the private sectors.
