Overview
About Me
I am a philosophy student from Berlin, Germany, and just came back from Singapore, where I was living for a year.
Currently working on a research project called "Beyond the Canon: The Role of Non-Western Philosophies in Times of Climate Crisis" for which I am exploring, how non-Western philosophical thought can help us better understand the mess that the world is in right now. Happy to have conversations about this!

I am also into politics (extinction rebellion), making music (I play the trumpet, let's jam!), and the outdoors.
I speak English, German, and a little French and Chinese:)
