Back in Germany, Johanna completed her master’s degree in psychology during which she focused on developmental and health psychology. For her thesis, Johanna examined the importance of physical activity for positive development. Her thesis research and the work she did in several studies on stroke survivors carved out her interest in how different groups of people interact with their environment and how this can be used in the most beneficial way for their health.

Outside of work/school, Johanna has always played field hockey. She also loves being outdoors, walking, hiking, jogging, or (mountain) biking – anything that will get her moving and breathing fresh air!
