Welcome
Hello, my name is Bonnie (she/her). I am so glad you are here.
Hello, my name is Bonnie (she/her). I am so glad you are here.
I am a PhD Candidate at the University of Minnesota’s School of Social Work. I am also pursuing a Doctoral Minor in Quantitative Methods in Education from the Department of Educational Psychology.
I have presented my research locally, nationally, and internationally, and I use a mixed-methods approach grounded in critical feminist theory to research topics including alcohol and substance use, misuse, and disorders; the impact of gender and culture on perceptions of alcohol use; addiction in immigrant and refugee populations; and intergenerational trauma. In addition to my research background, I am a licensed graduate social worker with clinical experience in co-occurring substance and alcohol use disorders, intergenerational trauma, gender-based violence, mass incarceration, and individuals experiencing psychosis. Fun fact: I am a dual citizen in the United States and Hungary; beszélek magyarul!
In addition to my studies, I work for the University of Minnesota’s Department of Psychiatry, and I teach the master’s-level course Social Work Research Methods at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN.

P.S. I know this website isn’t the fanciest, but guess what? I made it myself in R Markdown. Pretty cool, right?
