EDIT: I am currently working at Metacore games as Wellbeing & Performance Lead and will be updating these pages soon. So bear with me! 🙂

Whether you need support to survive and thrive on your PhD journey or you want to improve your self-management skills as a scientist, the PhD Pathfinder is the right place for you.

Serving as your PhD Pathfinder is me, Maria Törnroos, a work and organizational psychologist (PhD) with plenty of experience and expertise of all the ups and downs of doing a PhD.

You can read more about me, my academic past and my visions for the future in the ‘About me’ section.
