I am a Berliner by birth and was always inspried by activism, participation and how to grow my own, but as well the skills of the people around me.

I graduated at the Freie Universität Berlin in Geography, Sociology and Politics. My thesis dealt with the impact of borders on local communities, raising my interest esepcially on intercultural communication. During my studies I became an active member of the European Association of Geography Students (EGEA) – where I cherished the trans-European exchange and started to initiate own projects, workshops and first publications.

In 2009 I became a co-founder of the Greek NGO Chios Insitute for Mediaterranean Affairs, where i launchend fora on Cultural Diplomacy and sustainable Tourism.

In 2010 I joined CRN, first as project manager, later as Vice-Director and currently as executive manager. In 2014 I started my PHD at the University of Eastern Finland, focusing on Borders again. During this time I became member of various editorial boards, launched the publication service of CRN and specialised in project writing and management especially on Erasmus+.

In 2018 I became a German Ambassador of the European Plateform for Adult Education (EPALE). In the same year I helped to launch the CRN Peacebuidling Program, the European Inititative for Circular Education and became a funding board memebr of the Berlin based youth organisation NGO Nest Berlin.

Since 2010 I managed more than 40 projects on European, national and local level, among others in programmes such as REC, Horizon 2020, Auswärtiges Amt and Soziale Stadt.
