Drina is completing a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) majoring in psychology at Massey University. For her research project, Drina focuses on how authentic pride relates to resilience amongst rainbow folks and how their natural responses to positive moods, emotions, and experiences are implicated in the pride-resilience relationship. Drina hopes a more comprehensive understanding of pride, resilience, and positive affect will contribute to reducing the current mental health disparities experienced by those who identify as LGBTQIA+ and help expand the strength-based knowledge available to those who work in the mental health sector.
