About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm up to a leap in the dark. Having graduated from university in 2015, I decided to do a voluntary service at a school for mentally challenged children before diving into working life. Also, I promised myself to start a job that doesn't require me to sit behind a desk all day long. Let me be super honest: I spectacularly failed at that. Currently I work with the German central bank (or rather: I am in a traineeship) and I do nothing but sitting behind a desk. So my current mission is to reflect upon my interests and skills to find a job that really suits me.

ABOUT ME

I am really interested in a lot of things: Learning, politics (I also like getting involved in it), other people, exploring new things (be it sports or countries or music or educational things etc.), music (listening to it, singing out loud, playing the piano and the guitar), reading books, understanding and changing my view about things, having politicalphilosophicalmoral conversations while enjoying a glass of wine or apple juice.

Also I am usually happy, trying to make other people happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Be open-minded!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing on Fumaca waterfall, 400 metres above the ground, and look down to the trees that will not be reached by the water falling down.

Climbing the summit of Mount Snowdon in Wales together with my best friend and my brother. It was ace!

Crossing the alps by foot with my partner in crime in just one week. Cycling from Greece via Albania, Montenegro and Bosnia to Croatia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn a lot of things. Anything new or more in-depth than I have known before is great. Currently I am really interested in learning communication strategies (Non-Violent Communication, Mediation) and psychotherapeutic relaxation techniques (Autogenic Training, Hypnosis).

I think I can also teach a lot. I am a good listener and try to find answers to open questions.
