Natalija is an undergraduate psychology student at the Faculty of Media and Communications and an ethnology and anthropology student at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Belgrade. Her interdisciplinary academic path reflects a strong interest in understanding psychological phenomena through cultural and social lenses. She has been actively involved in European Federation of Psychology Students’ Associations (EFPSA), contributing to the Social Impact Initiative campaigns and coordinating its largest project, Mind the Mind, which focuses on the destigmatization of mental disorders. Through this role, she has gained experience in project leadership, public mental health advocacy, and cross-cultural collaboration. In addition, Natalija is a Junior Scholar Member of the European Network of Psychological Anthropology (ENPA), further strengthening her engagement with qualitative research methods. She aims to continue her research and academic development by integrating cultural dimensions into the understanding of psychological manifestations, with a particular focus on community psychology and the role of cultural differences in both social and clinical contexts.
