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 in my third year of pursuing a PhD in Social Work at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, with a Doctoral Minor in Quantitative Methods in Education from the Department of Educational Psychology.
I have presented my research locally, nationally, and internationally. I use a mixed-methods approach 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; intergenerational trauma; and critical feminist pedagogy. I plan to focus my dissertation on how gender and culture impacts Hungarian-American women’s perceptions of alcohol use, misuse, and disorder.
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!

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