I gained early professional experience as a Unix administrator and a brief stint as a minimal techno DJ. 

I earned a degree in Sociology from the University of Constance and worked in sales for outdoor and mountaineering brands, eventually managing a specialty retail store. 

From 2014 to 2023, I ran a successful communication agency offering content creation, editorial services, and strategic communication consulting. As an entrepreneur, I led projects across industries, focusing on tailored messaging, client collaboration, and adaptability. 

Between 2021 and 2024, I worked as a social worker supporting young people and refugees in integrating into German society. 

Since 2024, I’ve been a public relations specialist at a district office, focusing on social issues and community communication. 

Outside of work, I run blogs, design and sew ultralight hiking gear, and enjoy life and long-distance hikes in the Alps and elsewhere.
