I’m a scientist, a founder, an assistant professor, and a woman who loves being all of it.

My work brings together positive education, student well-being, and science-based behavioral design. For over 20 years, I have focused on research and education that help students and universities put well-being into practice.

I’m an assistant professor at Charles University and the author of Well-Being and Success for University Students: Applying PERMA+4. My academic work and collaborations have taken me across Europe, the Americas, and Asia.

I’m also the founder and CEO of Uniwellsity, an EdTech initiative that brings research-based well-being education into real university life. Through BEwell, we combine science, practical learning, and thoughtful use of technology.
